Description

*Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
*Vintage production: 636 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 1x75cl

DE97JS98TWP98

*Blend: 93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sémillon *Vintage production: 229 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.

DE100TWP100

*Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec *Vintage production: 520 cases *Arkenstone Estate Winery and winemaker Sam Kaplan are a match made in heaven, turning... heads with their thrilling Cabernet Sauvignon-driven Howell Mountain Estate wines since 2006. Arkenstone Estate is perched high on the west-facing slopes of Howell Mountain. It’s a breathtaking property that has been farmed organically since day one, and you’ll find Sam in the vineyard tending to vines as often as in the cellar. It takes this unerring level of commitment to build such a high reputation, and produced wines of this quality.

2021 Arkenstone, Estate Syrah, Howell Mountain 1x75cl

DE98TWP97

*Blend: 100% Syrah *Vintage production: 117 cases *By far their smallest production wine, the Estate Syrah is an Arkenstone team favourite inspired by the Krausz family’s love of hillside Syrah. ... It has long been one of Napa's hidden gems. Grown on two separate vineyard blocks including one of the steepest on the Estate, the Syrah has found its sweet spot on Howell Mountain. The original plantings of the first block happened in 1998 consisting of 0.2 hectares. What started as an educated guess after looking at soils and exposure was quickly confirmed a few years after that first leaf. The team then added an additional 0.10 ha bringing the total acreage of Syrah to 0.30 ha in the organically farmed Estate Vineyard. At Arkenstone the red varietals are planted predominantly in iron-rich red Aiken loam which is speckled with large volcanic rocks. The soil itself is nutrient deficient and the presence of volcanic rock provides optimal drainage. These factors result in vines that are constantly struggling to produce fruit. Having the fruit struggle naturally helps to produce a more concentrated, but balanced crop. The Syrah is hand-picked at night and hand/optical sorted first thing in the morning at the Estate. A small portion of the fruit will go into tank for fermentation full cluster and is fermented in stainless steel tanks followed by 22 months in French oak.
