Just over the peak of Howell Mountain, alongside Pritchard Hill, is a place less-traveled yet full of promise. The Cervantes Family vineyard is nestled right in the southern point of Pope Valley in the Vacas Mountain Range directly east of Napa's main valley. What this estate lacks in exposure to the masses, it more than makes up for with breathtaking wines.  The Blacktail Blend is hedonism in its purest form, with a combination of Bordeaux varieties and a touch a of Petite Sirah, this wine is not for the faint of heart. Here, the adventurous Cervantes family pairs with a renowned team, including winemakers Andy Erickson and Jessica Tarpy. For the uninitiated, Andy Erickson has had his hands in just about every major cult wine in the valley since the mid-1990s
