Spring 2020 update from Howell Mountain Vineyards
 
It's springtime at Howell Mountain Vineyards and the vines look great! The weather was near perfect this spring as it was the first time in over 40 years that we didn't have to turn on the frost protection fans once at our estate, the Beatty Ranch. If spring is any indication of the vintage, we are heading for 2020 to be one of the greatest vintages ever!
 
With Spring here, it's time to release our new Zinfandel Wines. This release contains our new vintage of our Old Vine Zinfandel, our most popular Zinfandel, and the second release of our Primitivo Clone Zinfandel. Both wines have been well received by the press with both wines achieving 90+ point ratings. 
 
With many of us under "shelter in place" orders, we've had a number of people requesting more in-home wine experiences. So, by popular demand, Howell Mountain Vineyards is conducting its first ever Virtual Wine Tasting with lead by winemaker, Bryan Kane and winegrowers Mike & Patrick Beatty. We've put together a sampling of our current release wines that can be ordered for the tasting and are providing a $25 coupon with each tasting so that you can purchase your favorite wines from the tasting at a discount. 
 
We've appreciated all of the support during this challenging time, and we look forward to sharing our new releases with you!

Spring 2020 New Release Wines
 
 
2016 Old Vine Zinfandel
 
91 points, Connoisseurs' Guide
90 points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
On the nose, this wine produces a melody of fruit starting with red cherry notes leading to darker black cherry notes upon further examination. On the palate, layers black pepper spice dominate the entry supported by a rich, fuller than normal, body of black raspberry and dark cherry fruit with hints of cloves and dark plum fruit in the finish supported by well integrated tannins which expose lingering notes of anise and creme de cassis.

2016 Primitivo Clone Zinfandel
 
92 points, Connoisseurs' Guide
90 points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Our Second Release of this wine!
Our 2016 Primitivo Clone Zinfandel is popular wine right out of the bottle with notes of red cherry fruit with black pepper spice. Although not as fruit-forward as the 2013 vintage (our first release), this wine bright red fruit on the palate with a core of crushed pepper spice on a medium bodied palate. This wine drinks well now and should be enjoyed over the next 5 years.
