About This Wine

Sourced from the elevated terroir of Howell Mountain, this 2021 Merlot showcases the distinctive character that elevation imparts to Napa Valley's finest fruit. Expect a full-bodied wine with compelling layers of dark cherry, plum, and cocoa, interwoven with subtle spice and tobacco undertones. The wine's well-integrated tannin structure and precise acidity deliver a refined, lingering finish. An ideal selection for pairing with grilled meats, wild game, or richly seasoned dishes. La Jota's winemaking philosophy emphasizes authenticity to Howell Mountain's singular growing conditions, resulting in a Merlot of considerable depth and complexity.
