The Angwin Estate is a small property perched atop Howell Mountain. The wine is made by Jon Larson, a Napa native who came into winemaking only recently. Jon’s style and approach are a nod to the Napa producers who intend their wines to last for the long run. This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has highly intoxicating aromas of black raspberry, blackcurrant, ripe black cherry, cedar, underbrush, and heaps of mouthwatering baking spices. The wine is dense and brooding, yet lifted — there’s energy to it, along with a very Bordeaux-esque balance of fruit and earth notes.
