Description

*Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
*Vintage production: 750 cases

*Owners Ron and Susan Krausz purchased their Estate in 1997 after falling in love with the property’s rugged beauty and natural setting among the forests of Howell Mountain.

They adored the profile of the Cabernet from the steep, eastern volcanic slopes of Napa, and they began to explore further south in the Vaca Mountain Range for additional sources of outstanding fruit.

This led to the birth of their NVD (‘Napa Valley Designate’) label – a remarkable expression Mountain Cabernet.

Tasting Notes

Decanter 96

Sourced from Arkenstone Vineyard, Heimark Vineyard, Amoenus Vineyard and Godward Vineyard, this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 22 months in 75% new French oak. Impressively bright and vivid in this vintage, it shows charismatic, crunchy red fruit character layered with lovely graphite minerality and subtle, fragrant nuances of tobacco spice. The tannins are impressively crisp on the medium-bodied palate, while the fruit profile builds with black cherry and blueberry notes, joined by hints of pine-forest and cocoa-nib freshness. Long and lingering, the finish is energising. [Jonathan Cristaldi, 18/03/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2040

The Wine Palate 97

The 2023 NVD Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it sings of beautiful fresh black currants, red currant jelly, and kirsch notes, followed by hints of roses, underbrush, and fragrant soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is elegant and refreshing with very fine-grained tannins and compelling tension, finishing long and perfumed. [Jonathan Cristaldi, 01/11/2025]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2045

2023 Arkenstone, Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Howell Mountain 6x75cl

DE97JS98TWP98

*Blend: 93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sémillon *Vintage production: 450 cases *Equal to the Estate Red, the Estate Sauvignon Blanc is done in the Bordeaux style of winemaking, including a small... percentage of Sémillon in the final blend. As with many Bordeaux Châteaux, Arkenstone utilises large concrete eggs for the vinification as well as new and once-used French oak. The free-run Sauvignon Blanc is fermented and aged in oak and concrete vessels for roughly a year sur-lie and without racking or battonage. The Semillon is fermented and aged sur-lie for the same time but in all-new French oak. Once blended, the Estate Blanc is then aged in bottle for 18 months before release. The Wine Balance, structure, and texture are at the core of the Estate Blanc. This foundation makes it quite versatile at the dinner table. From raw seafood to hearty pork dishes, the combination of rich fruit and bright acidity makes it a perfect match. Though easy to enjoy, the Estate Blanc is more intellectual than it is quaffable. Whereas most Sauvignon Blanc blends are meant to be enjoyed for the prelude to an evening, Arkenstone’s has the integrity to last from amuse-bouche to the final dessert of a lengthy meal. Howell Mountain is composed primarily of volcanic soils. At Arkenstone, the vines are planted in red Aiken Loam and White Tufa. The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are planted in the Tufa, comprised of compacted volcanic ash, and are 100% organically grown.

2017 Arkenstone, Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Howell Mountain 1x75cl

DE95JD95

*Blend: 94% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Semillon *Vintage production: 380 cases *The Arkenstone Estate Sauvignon Blanc, originally planted in 1997, is grown in 6 different very steep, very rocky, vineyard... blocks on the Howell Mountain Estate. Choosing to plant only in the perfect patches of nutrient lacking, well-drained, white volcanic soils, the team can grow very concentrated, rich, but balanced, beautiful Sauvignon Blanc. Along with the Sauvignon Blanc in the lower part of our vineyard, we also farm a small block of Semillon which forms part of the final blend. The percentage of Semillon will change each vintage, but the results are always consistent. The Semillon adds beautiful floral aromatics along with a bigger mid-palate that seamlessly complements and integrates with the Sauvignon Blanc’s natural notes of melon, citrus, and minerality. From Arkenstone’s rigorous farming practices to crafting the final blend in the winery, this is very much their tip of the cap to the classic white wines of Bordeaux. As with all 13 acres (5.3ha) of the Arkenstone Estate, the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are both farmed exclusively in-house using only organic farming techniques overseen by Winemaker Sam Kaplan.
