Rising between 1,400 to 2,500 feet above sea level, Napa Valley’s Howell Mountain has become a legend in the wine world. Its porous, rocky, iron-rich soils lend themselves to the making of bold, concentrated, and refined wines. And, while unique microclimates across the hillsides allow for a variety of grapes to grow, this area is particularly great for cabernet sauvignon. A two-day tour of Howell Mountain’s wineries allows wine enthusiasts to explore some of the most beautiful, distinct vineyards in the region, while tasting standout cabernet sauvignon and other red Bordeaux varietals.
