2018 Old Vine Zinfandel
#2 Zinfandel of the Year
95 points
- Wine & Spirits
94 points & Double Gold Medal - American Fine Wine Competition

"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."

2018 Primitivo Clone Zinfandel
91 points - Wine & Spirits

"In 2018, we again produced our Primitivo Clone wine. This newer planting of the Primitivo Clone of zinfandel produces a more fruit forward, full-bodied wine that differs greatly from our wines produced from the vineyard’s old vines. A popular wine right out of the bottle, this wine has notes of red cherry fruit with some black pepper spice. This wine is filled with 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."

2017 Petit Verdot
93 points & Double Gold Medal - American Fine Wine Competition
91 points - Wine Enthusiast

Hauntingly dark in the glass at first sight, our 2017 Howell Mountain Petit Verdot exhibits the classic characteristics of this highly tannic, black fruit grape. The light crop and smaller than normal berries produced a dense, chewy, full structured wine with firm tannins. On the palate, the hints of blackberry, blueberry and earthy, cigar box and leather notes fought its way through the tannins. This wine continues its dark fruit decent into the palate and finishes with a long mouth-drying finish with firm tannins and gripping acid, begging for this wine to be cellared up to 10-12 years.

Fall & Holiday 2021 Newsletter

Howell Mountain Vineyards
2021 Holiday & New Releases
 
Dear Friends of Howell Mountain,

We just finish putting the last of the wine in barrel before the Thanksgiving break, and we would have to say that the 2021 was another exceptional growing season on Howell Mountain!  Although the rain came early this year, everything was fully ripened, and we were able to pick all of the grapes for both Howell Mountain Vineyards and the other wineries who use our grapes. 

The 2021 vintage looks to be a winemaker's year. The grapes tended to be smaller than average leading to a lower yield, producing higher quality grapes with a higher skin to pulp ratio, leading to more intense flavors in the wine. From what we've seen at Howell Mountain and what the experts are saying, 2021 may prove to be an exceptional vintage and one not to be missed. 
 
With Thanksgiving behind us, we have entered the heart of the Holiday Season, and the launch of the Howell Mountain Vineyards Holiday Gift Packs. This year, again we offer 4 different gift packs that offer a 26% to 35% off our retail price. Each gift set offers FREE Tissue Wrapping and a FREE Gift Card!  For multiple gift orders or large corporate orders, you can either purchase them on-line individually through separate transactions or email a spreadsheet to orders@howellmountainvineyards.com with your contact info, and we will call you for your payment information the process the orders for you. Remember, to receive your packages by December 24 via Ground Shipping, your orders must be placed by Monday, December 13th
 
We are also offering our new 2021 Fall Release wines which include our Beatty Ranch Reserve Zinfandel, our Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, and our Beatty Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - rated 95 points and ranked #2 US Cabernet of the Year by Wine & Spirits Magazine. Our reserve wines have a very limited production and will be sold out within the next month or two, so get your order in soon. 
 
Good news, we can now ship to Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey and Rhode Island - so you can FINALLY order Howell Mountain Vineyards wines if you live in these states. To order wine from these states, click here or on the link at the top of the page on our Wine Shop on our website.
 
Thank you again for your interest in Howell Mountain Vineyards wines and we look forward to sharing our wines with you, your friends and your family over the holidays!

91 points, Wine Spectator
"On the palate, the wine exhibits firm tannins from the start with underlying notes of dark blackberry and black currant fruit which are focused in the center of the palate. The wine finishes with hints of tobacco along a deep, dark layer of fruit and grippy tannins which provide structure into the finish."

2017 Beatty Ranch Reserve Zinfandel
 
94 points, American Fine Wine Comp
92 points, Wine Enthusiast
"In the glass, the nose bursts with black pepper and Asian spices with deep underlying black cherry cola fruit notes. At first sip, the spice and tannins dominate the palate. Black cherry fruit begins to break-through under a chorus of spices which focuses the fruit. This wine dives deep into the palate supported by bright acid and firm tannins."

2017 Beatty Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
 
#2 US Cabernet of the Year
95 points, Wine & Spirits
"It’s a wine about transformation, the volcanic-soil stink and fierce tannins carrying a mysterious refinement that, apparent from the start, becomes increasingly evident as the tannic power turns into racy fruit. Charged with energy, gentle to the touch, this is a monumental cabernet that will continue to draw you in further with each taste. Savor it over the course of days, or cellar it for a decade."

Howell Mountain Vineyards 2021 Spring Release

Howell Mountain Vineyards
2021 Spring Release
Dear Friends,

Spring in here and Howell Mountain Vineyards are in full bloom. Although, we had a few more nights of frost this year, the vines look good and we expect a consistent fruit set this year. The 2021 Vintage is off to a excellent start.

We thank you all for your thoughts and prayers last year during the Glass Fire on Howell Mountain. Fortunately, Howell Mountain Vineyards and the Beatty Ranch were spared from the fire. Due to the wind direction, we had no detectable smoke taint in our fruit which is very fortunate since the 2020 Vintage may be the best vintage of the century. The fruit was balanced with small berries which produced intense wines from the vineyard. We are excited about how the 2020 Vintage wines are developing.
Lastly, we have our new 2021 Spring Release wines which include two Zinfandels, Reserve Beatty Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and our Cabernet Franc which was named "Top Cabernet Franc in the World" at the prestigious TEXSOM International Wine Competition. Some of these wines have a very limited production, so get your order in soon.
Thank you again for your interest in Howell Mountain Vineyards wines and we look forward to sharing our new release wines with you,

Mike Beatty

In addition, we are releasing the popular Old Vine Zinfandel as well as the Primitivo Clone Zinfandel.
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Beatty Ranch
92 points, American Fine Wine Comp
"At first sight, this wine looks massive with its dark black color. In the nose, the wine exhibits dark, dusty blackberry fruit with a undertone of licorice reminiscent of “sen sen” breath mints. On the palate, the wine uncovers layer upon layer of dark fruit and earthy tannins with a long finish."

2016 Cabernet Franc
"Top Cab Franc in the World"
Best of Class, TEXSOM
"Soft, supple and richly etched in red fruit, this wine is also earthy in cedar, tobacco and dusty rock. Tight, firm tannins give it pronounced structure and elegance around peppery spice and lasting oak, the wine aromatic in mountain violet and sage."
Buy Now
2016 Petit Verdot
91 points, Wine Enthusiast
"This is a thick, brooding red wine from the producer's own estate vineyard—a study in dusty rock, graphite and dark cherry. Tobacco, leather and caramel chime in midway through on the palate, surrounded by structured tannin and well-integrated oak that complement the wine's broad shoulders and rich ripeness."

2017 "Old Vine" Zinfandel
92 points, Wine Enthusiast
"From vines planted before Prohibition, this balanced, burly red is sinewy, with components of black pepper, gravel, stone and iron. Red- and black-cherry fruit is rich and layered, with lovely contrasts of leather, tannin and spicy oak."

2017 Primitivo Clone Zinfandel
93 points, Wine Enthusiast
"Effusively and powerfully built around blackberry and graham cracker flavors, this bold, structured mountain wine is soft and unctuous on the palate. Firm, integrated tannin and oak don't hinder but rather add to the intrigue and appeal, leading to a finish of cinnamon and black pepper."

Giving Thanks
Dear Friends,

2020 has been laden with challenges. As we reflect, we are grateful.

First, we are thankful for being spared by the Glass Fire on Howell Mountain. Although many of our neighbors experienced loss of property, Howell Mountain Vineyards and the Beatty Ranch were spared from this devastating fire. We give thanks to CalFire and the volunteers that worked to contain and extinguish the Glass Fire before it reached our property.

Next, we are thankful for the fact that we will be producing estate wines in 2020. Due to the containment efforts, the fire and smoke stayed to the northwest of the vineyard, leaving the vineyard and unpicked fruit untouched. We have taken efforts to mitigate any potential taint from the smoke. So far, it looks like there is little evidence of smoke taint in the wine.

Lastly, we would like to thank you for your support. Even with the myriad of challenges that 2020 presented, we are optimistic! All of our wines received 90+ point ratings and we are excited that our soon to be released 2016 Cabernet Franc was named the Best Cabernet Franc in the world. Watch for more details upon release. Your enthusiastic support of our wines has been heartfelt.

To thank you, we have put together a number of discounted Holiday Wine Gift Packs, allowing you to easily share holiday cheers. You can order these on-line as outlined below or, if you prefer a custom order, call us at 707-637-9400. Again, we are grateful for all of your support and wish you a safe and joyful holiday season!

Sincerely,

Mike Beatty

Our current wine club release includes our 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon and our 2016 Beatty Ranch Zinfandel -- the follow-up to our previous vintage named Top Zinfandel of the Year & Top 100 Wines of the Year by Wine Enthusiast Magazine!
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
92 points, American Fine Wine Comp
At first sight, you see the rich, dark color produced by the smaller berries in the 2016 vintage. In the glass, the wine exhibits a bouquet of blackberries and creme de cassis with a dusty undertone of black volcanic soil. On the palate, the wine exhibits firm tannins from the start with underlying notes of dark blackberry and black currant fruit which are focused in the center of the palate. The wine finishes with hints of tobacco along a deep, dark layer of fruit and grippy tannins which provide structure to the finish and ageability to the wine.

2016 Beatty Ranch Zinfandel
91 points, Connoisseurs' Guide
90 points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Our 2016 Beatty Ranch Reserve Zinfandel embraces the spicy characteristics from these old vines - the oldest n the entire appellation. In the glass, the nose bursts with black pepper and Asian spices with deep underlying black cherry cola fruit notes. At first sip, the spice and tannins dominate the palate. Black cherry fruit begins to break-through under the chorus of spices and focuses the fruit deep into the palate supported by bright acid and firm tannins giving this wine ageability into the next 10 years.
