If you’ve ever made the drive to the very top of Mount St. Helena then you know. If you haven’t then you should, and if you do, book a visit at the summit with Pride Mountain Vineyards (appointments are required by county law there).
The property straddles the Napa/Sonoma line – there’s a brick line that crossed through the crush pad. The views are amazing. The soil is unique and distinctive, and the wines highly collectable.
2019 was a near perfect vintage there. Early spring provided just enough rain to build up some small reserves which protected the vines from the occasional heat spikes. A mild fall allowed for an extremely generous picking schedule allowing each grape to be picked at optimum maturity.
This is your textbook contemplative Cabernet. Big, bold, and brash mountain fruit displaying a medley of dark fruits highlighted by Bing Cherries, ripe plum but with underlying tones of aged tobacco, sandalwood, and dark chocolate.
It’s a phenomenal Cabernet that is usually pretty highly allocated.

The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
