Howell Mountain Napa California
Wine Enthusiast 91
"Piedra Hill is the Cabernet-only brand of former La Jota owner Bill Smith, now better known for his W.H. Smith Pinots from Sonoma Coast. But he hasn’t lost his touch for Howell Mountain Cabs. This one’s dry, complex and enormously tannic. Don’t even think of opening it until at least 2010, but it should develop well beyond that. — S.H."
