Pas de Cheval‘Finale’ Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019- Special Priced 3-Pack

Considered to be the fullest-bodied of the three debut offerings of Pas de Cheval, this 2019 comes from Howell Mountain and while it is big and bold, it offers lush flavors of blackberry and cocoa dusting, with ‘tilled earth, toast, vanilla, five-spice, and crushed violets. It finishes with evolving patterns of ripe fruit, spice and seems endless. It is a gorgeous expression of Howell Mountain masculinity and richness, but still defined by an overall sophistication and balance.’ This too is an expression of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is comprised solely of Clone 168. It showcases the best of the rocky soils that are high on Howell Mountain. For this offering, winemaker, Maayan Koschitzky, aged the wine for 20 months in 100% French oak, 70% new French oak. 125 cases were produced. 

2019 marks the debut vintage for Vanessa Conlin and winemaker, Maayan Koschitzky’s new project together, Pas de Cheval. Vanessa has been a longtime friend and colleague in the wine business as well as Maayan, who is currently the head of winemaking for Atelier Melka, which consists of all of Philippe Melka’s winery clients.
