Everything about Pestoni's Howell Mountain Cabernet speaks to its origin. Naturally concentrated fruit, vibrant acidity, and unmistakable structure are the direct result of Howell Mountain's elevation and volcanic soils. Five generations of the Pestoni family have spent more than 130 years farming this rugged landscape, producing a Cabernet that embodies the depth, balance, and longevity that have made the appellation legendary. That expression begins at Three Tears Vineyard, where Cabernet thrives nearly 1,800 feet above the valley floor in rocky volcanic soils. Above the fog, long sun-filled days and cool mountain nights extend the growing season, preserving freshness while slowly building concentration. The Pestoni family farms the vineyard regeneratively, believing the purest expression of Howell Mountain comes from allowing this extraordinary site to speak with clarity.  Every wine at Pestoni Family is crafted in small lots with a singular purpose: to express the vineyard rather than the hand of the winemaker. That philosophy keeps Three Tears Vineyard at the center of every bottle, allowing its power, precision, and origin to shine through. The 2021 is a reminder that some of Napa's most authentic wines are still made by the families who know their land best.
