Hundred Acre The Ark Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

California

Howell Mountain

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2021 The Ark Vineyard needs a shake or two to wake up intense scents of crème de cassis, red currant jelly, and blackberry pie, leading to a complex undercurrent of mint tea, sandalwood, and fallen leaves. The full-bodied palate sparkles with energetic black and red berry flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally.

The 2019 The Ark Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a swirl or two before it strolls out with notes of creme de cassis, black cherries, and mulberries leading to hints of crushed rocks, iron ore, and underbrush plus tapenade and lavender. The full-bodied palate is concentrated, with minerals, earth, and bags of black fruits, perfectly ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy.

The 2018 The Ark Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color. Creme de cassis, plum preserves, and exotic spices give way to fabulously fragrant hints of incense, crushed flowers, licorice, and chocolate. The full-bodied palate is so, so vibrant and energetic, with very firm, fine, grainy tannins and incredible tension, finishing long and minerally.
