2017 TORCIA Howell Mtn. Cabernet Sauvignon

The appellation owes its distinctive climate to the fact that it is positioned well above the valley floor. Because of its altitude, generally, evening temperatures are warmer and daytime temperatures are much cooler—leveling out spikes in heat that tend to be more exaggerated at lower elevations. Cooler spring temperatures cause buds to break later than average, and warm summer nights produce fruit that demonstrates a great balance between acidity and sugar. Combine this with soils that are nutrient poor, stressing the vines, producing intense wines from small clusters and berries, all of which, translates into a rich diversity of complexity and flavor in your glass with excellent aging properties.
