La Jota - Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (750ml)

2021 CABERNET SAUVIGNON NAPA VALLEY HISTORY In the calm glow of Napa Valley’s Howell Mountain, surrounded by murmuring emerald forests and anchored by the original stone winery building, our winemaking team is inspired to be part of La Jota’s endurance. La Jota Vineyard Co. was founded in 1898 by newspaperman Frederick Hess, a Swiss immigrant. He purchased 327 acres of a Mexican land grant and planted vineyards on a remote plateau. The rocky soils, high-elevation sun exposure, and abundant wind and fog had led Hess and other pioneers to believe the location could produce wines as distinctive as those in Europe. La Jota was one mile away from a vineyard planted ten years earlier by geologist Winfield S. Keyes. Both men achieved recognition for their wines at the 1900 Paris Exposition, bringing instant fame to Howell Mountain. Today, some 125 years later, we continue the legacy of crafting small-production wines that reveal intense fruit and indelible mineral complexity. VINEYARDS AND OR
