When I first tasted this wine, I was transported to one of the most beautiful parts of Napa Valley: Howell Mountain. The second time was with a big porterhouse steak which, as you can imagine, was a perfect pairing! Howell at the Moon captures it all: it is a strong, muscular wine with a balanced, long finish that is simply remarkable. - Jeffrey Meisel, Gilt Taste Wine Director
Why to buy: This a California Cab-lover's California Cab. Big, bold, fruit forward, luscious tannins. Break out the big-bowled Riedel stemware. It's time for a party.
Nose, palate and pairing: The 2007 vintage is an exemplar of wine from this region: full-bodied and deep in flavor, this wine can cellar for the next decade. If you're drinking now, pair with big flavors like grilled dry-aged steaks, roasted portabello mushrooms or peppery arugula salad with a toasted hazelnut vinaigrette.
The backstory: The Howell Mountain AVA of Napa is known for producing deep, dark, brambly tannic wines that are muscular and have the ability to age for years. Sarah Gott, the winemaker for Howell at the Moon, clearly knows her craft – she has a deft hand in the vineyard and winery, making a wine with finesse that is not overwhelmed by these mountain tannins.

In 2000, after several years of seeking the perfect site, Howell at the Moon was founded on a plot previously filled with apples and walnuts. Owner Marc Cohen rooted all the vines from scratch and thoroughly researched every aspect of the wine making process sparing no expense.

We Love This With
Howell at the Moon Cabernet Sauvignon? Check. Gorgeous, marbled steak? Check. Porcini mushroom salt? Yes, please. Of course, you’ll have to spend a few minutes putting this simple spice blend together, but the reward is a complex and earthy salt that you can smother all over your steak before it hits the coals. This recipe was made with the wine lover in mind, and we think you will agree.
