👉 “96-Point Howell Mountain Cabernet • Powerful • Built to Age”

The Beringer 2019 Steinhauer Ranch Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, structured, and deeply expressive mountain Cabernet that captures the raw power and precision of one of Napa Valley’s most respected high-elevation terroirs.

Produced by Beringer Vineyards, this single-vineyard Cabernet comes from Howell Mountain, where rugged conditions, volcanic soils, and elevation produce wines with intensity, structure, and exceptional aging potential.

In the glass, the wine reveals a deep, inky ruby color. The nose is layered and complex, offering aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, intertwined with vanilla, licorice, dark chocolate, and pinewood. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with chewy tannins, dense fruit concentration, and a distinctly mineral, smoky backbone. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of crushed stone, walnut, and dark fruit.

This is a serious mountain Cabernet—structured, intense, and built for long-term cellaring.

Critical Acclaim

  • 96 Points – James Suckling
    “Ripe blackcurrants, blackberries and plums with notes of vanilla, licorice, dark chocolate and pinewood. Dark and smoky character with full body, chewy tannins and meaty structure. Plush, delicious fruit. Holds long and even with hints of crushed stones and walnuts at the end. Try after 2025.”

Vineyard & Winemaking

  • Producer: Beringer Vineyards
  • Region: Napa Valley, California
  • Appellation: Howell Mountain
  • Vineyard: Steinhauer Ranch
  • Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Alcohol: 15.1%

Careful vineyard block selection and precise vinification are used to maximize flavor extraction while preserving balance, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and refined.

Why Howell Mountain Matters

Howell Mountain is one of Napa Valley’s most distinctive appellations:

  • Higher elevation → smaller berries, thicker skins
  • Volcanic soils → minerality and structure
  • Cooler nights → better acidity and balance

The result: Cabernets with intensity, grip, and long aging potential.

Vintage Notes (2019 Napa Valley)

The 2019 vintage delivered near-perfect growing conditions:

  • Ample winter rainfall
  • Long, even ripening season
  • No extreme heat spikes
  • Extended hangtime

Resulting in wines with deep concentration, freshness, and outstanding structure.

Cellaring & Drinking Window

  • Best From: 2025 onward
  • Peak Window: 2026–2045
  • Aging Potential: 20+ years

Decant if drinking young—this wine is built to evolve.

Food Pairing

Ideal with:

  • Grilled ribeye or tomahawk steak
  • Braised short ribs
  • Lamb shank
  • Wild game
  • Aged cheeses

Why This Wine Stands Out

  • 96-point Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Single-vineyard (Steinhauer Ranch)
  • Powerful mountain structure + refined balance
  • Exceptional aging potential
  • From one of Napa Valley’s most historic producers
