99-100 Points
A small production gem and one of the highest scoring Napa Cabs of the vintage from Castiel Estate. Limited.
99/100 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another masterpiece from the talents of Celia Welch, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes from a site on Howell Mountain and spent 20 months in new French oak. It's a full-bodied, concentrated, powerful Mountain Cabernet revealing ample smoked black fruits, notes of graphite, tobacco, spicy wood, and bouquet garni, a dense, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a gorgeous overall profile that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age. It will unquestionably have two decades or more of prime drinking."
Celia Welch is one of North America's most significant winemakers and believes wine should speak to the unique qualities and characteristics of the vineyard. Her exceptionally talented hand has produced some of the most notable Cabernet Sauvignons to come out of the Napa Valley, including Scarecrow, Staglin, Keever, Barbour, Lindstrom, and her own Corra label. Celia has crafted every Castiel vintage since the inaugural 2014. Castiel Estate is her only Howell Mountain based client.
