Pilcrow Granite Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750 ML
-
Decanter
From a vineyard that sits on the side of Howell Mountain, literally straddling a peak. Perched at 2,097 feet along the ridgeline facing into Napa Valley, the site is defined by iron-rich, volcanic, and severely depleted soils. Organically farmed, no-till, and surrounded by forest. The wine was aged for 22 months in 42% new French oak, with a pH of 3.68 and an alcohol content of 14.2%. This is Howell Mountain reimagined—a wine that will make you fall in love with the region all over again, but in a wholly different way. Rather than the typical inky black fruit and dark chocolate, this shows a red-fruited elegance, with lifted rose petal, bright tobacco, and refined cedarwood aromatics. On the palate, it’s a masterful expression of site, with a chalky richness and fabulously long, polished tannins—plump yet firm, providing a solid foundation. Blood orange and grapefruit zest emerge through the finish, carried by a riveting tension that defies preconceptions of the place. This is a wine that harkens back to the Howell Mountain wines of Lee Stewart’s original Château Souverain. Just gorgeous. Pilcrow’s first vintage was 2014; the label is co-owned by Sara and Jonah Beer.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
My favorite of the 2022s from Pilcrow is the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Granite Lake, which originates high atop Howell Mountain. Crushed stone, fir branches and blueberries make an intense impression on the nose, while the palate is medium- to full-bodied, with just enough flesh to be welcoming, framed by ripe, silky tannins that linger through the extended finish.
