Angwin Estate, Howell Mountain – Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Apr 16, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 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.
