More about the 2019 ADAMVS QUINTVS HOWELL MOUNTAIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON: Howell Mountain, perched high above the Napa Valley fog line, is a sanctuary for crafting wines of extraordinary depth and character. Its rocky, porous soils and unique microclimate nurture vines that yield intensely concentrated and luxurious fruit. In 2008, Denise and Stephen Adams discovered their ideal terroir on this iconic mountain, acquiring a property with five distinct vineyard blocks spanning elevations from 1,500 to 2,000 feet. Each block offers a rich mosaic of soil types and exposures, making it a true canvas for viticultural artistry. At the heart of ADAMVS is a powerhouse team led by renowned viticulturist Michael Wolf, acclaimed winemaker Alberto Bianchi, and legendary consulting winemaker Philippe Melka. Together, they craft wines that embody Howell Mountain's rugged elegance. The 2019 QUINTVS Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful blend, showcasing the estate’s five unique soil types. This meticulous barrel selection spent years evolving in the bottle, emerging as a seamless expression of the mountain’s essence.
