Arkenstone Description

The Arkenstone story is a tale of discovery and dedication, rooted in Howell Mountain's emergence as a prestigious wine region in the late 1970s and '80s. Acquiring their land in 1988, Arkenstone committed themselves to nurturing the land and establishing the Arkenstone Estate. Over nearly three decades, they've shared their estate with diverse wildlife and respected the historical significance of the terrain.

Arkenstone's quest for exceptional wines led them to become a true Domain Estate, complete with an underground winery and vineyards. Patiently embracing both tradition and technology, they released their first vintage in 2006. Their organic farming practices and sustainability efforts, such as fostering an eco-friendly ecosystem, underscore their commitment to the land. Visitors are invited to explore this Howell Mountain haven, offering tours and tastings by appointment, for an unforgettable experience at the intersection of wine and nature.

Cabernet Sauvignon 'Estate Blend' (82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot, 2% Malbec)

This wine impresses with its dense purple hue and pure cassis and dark currant fruit flavors. It's full-bodied, with fine tannins, complex herb and oak notes, and will age gracefully for several decades. The deep garnet-purple wine bursts with crème de cassis, black plums, and earthy hints, offering a rich, textured experience with firm structure and a lingering black truffle finish. The palate is rich with black currants, blueberries, and dark chocolate, promising aging potential while currently tempting with its smooth texture and rich flavors
