The Howell Mountain region of Napa sits 1800 feet-above-sea-level elevation on a bed of rich volcanic soil. In a region of this terroir, wines can be deeply tannic, but when well-made, they can age for decades as layers of vibrant black fruit mellow out any harshness.

The Watermark Howell Mountain is a beautiful example how a softer, more feminine wine can be made from this AVA. Aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, this wine overflows with notes of ripe berries, cherries, tobacco and cedar, and we love it with a celebration cut like Chateaubriand.

Varietals: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Nose: Ripe berries, cedar, tobacco and smoke
Palate: Follows the nose cherries and vanilla notes
Alcohol: 14.3%
Appellation: Howell Mountain, Napa, California

We Love This With

Chateaubriand may sound like a fancy dinner idea, but this spectacular bone-in cut adds a hint of celebration to your standard Sunday roast. Rub with salt, pepper, smashed garlic and a sprinkling of fresh herbs, and roast until medium-rare. We think the Watermark Howell Mountain’ elegant fruit is a noble pairing for this classic dish, created by an 18th century French court chef
