Howell Mountain Rosé Peloursin, 2020

Rosé

Howell Mountain Rosé Peloursin, 2020

In the year 2005 Mike Dunn grabbed budwood from an historic Howell Mountain vineyard to plant some Petite Sirah next to the winery and was surprised to see a different varietal taking hold in the new vineyard... 300 vines of Peloursin, one of the genetic parents of Petite Sirah. A varietal so rare that it's not commercially reported in California. With its high acidity and berry profile, it expresses itself beautifully as a Rosé.

Chiles Valley Zinfandel, 2018

Zinfandel

Chiles Valley Zinfandel, 2018

Tasting Notes: Our Zinfandel is well-balanced in style, with clean acidity and bright fruit. Mike’s use of mostly neutral barrels lets the old vine fruit shine through. The TA (total acidity) at harvest was 6.9, extremely high, yielding a Zinfandel fresh and lively on the palate. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92 points “The 2016 Zinfandel is a new wine in this range and is made from fruit sourced in Chiles Valley. Super-ripe red cherry, plum, new leather, spice and tobacco are all amped up. Rich and succulent, with plenty of buffering acidity, the Retro Zinfandel is beautiful and inviting.”

Howell Mountain Syrah, 2018

Syrah

Howell Mountain Syrah, 2018

Tasting Notes: Our Syrah is the biggest, boldest wine in our lineup. Gobs of red and black fruits and a mouthful of baking spices, this is our expression of a northern-Rhône styled wine.

Howell Mountain Petite Sirah, 2014

California Petite Sirah

Howell Mountain Petite Sirah, 2014

Tasting Notes: While being a classic, bold Howell Mountain wine, our wine also shows an elegance unusual for the varietal. Dense inky purple and blue in color. Aromas of coco, cumin, mulberry and baking spices mingle with wild berry compote. Full and rich on the palate, with a blueberry core and gingerbread spice. An age-worthy cellar star. Vineyard History: The four-acre Park Muscatine vineyard was originally planted in the 1890’s and has stood as a sentinel on Howell Mountain for more than a century. DNA testing shows that most of the vines are the Durif clone of Petite Sirah, and some are Peloursin, the original cross with Syrah that produced Durif. Los Abuelos vineyard was budded in 2005 by Mike Dunn with budwood from the original Park Muscatine vineyard, has a great deal of Peloursin in it, and is part of the Dunn estate, next to the winery on Howell Mountain.
