The Angwin estate is a tiny property perched up atop Howell Mountain. The wine is made by Jon Larson, a Napa native who came into winemaking only recently. The style Jon pursues is a nod to the classically-styled Napa producers that intend their wines to last for the long run. This is a full-bodied Cabernet that was aged for 2 years in oak - 50% of which was new.

Staff Pick Notes

When we first got wines from Angwin I liked their second label more than their first. The first label (this wine) showed tremendous potential but was a little frustrating at the time.

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well.
