2003 Risa
Meaning laughter in Spanish, our Risa has grown in distinction over the last several years and we are thrilled with this new vintage! Driven by the blending of our mountain Caberne ...moret Sauvignon with excellent fruit from the valley floor, this Risa is one of our most robust to date. Nearly black in color, with great extraction, the aromas of black and red fruit on the nose blend into a delightful sensation on the palate of forward fruit with just a hint of the minerality for which Howell Mountain is so well known. The finish is long and full it makes us smile every time we take a sip!
