Howell Mountain
- 2022 Sauvignon Blanc
Sitting high above the fog line and surrounded by an enchanted forest of fir and pine trees, David Abreu’s Las Posadas Vineyard, also known as the Lucia Abreu Vineyard, is one of the most esteemed vineyards to occupy the Howell Mountain AVA.
David purchased the 22-acre property in 2000 and, in 2002, planted its first vines, 15 acres of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The textbook Red Aiken Howell Mountain soil is layered over white tufa, producing wines with great power, structure, intensity, and ageability.
Considered one of the grand cru vineyards of Napa Valley, the fruit from Abreu’s Las Posadas Vineyard is also one of the most sought-after. Impensata is honored to have our partnership with David Abreu and is privileged to source fruit from this cherished vineyard.
