Howell
Mountain
Some like it hot and in the Napa
Wine Country’s rugged northern reaches, hot is
exactly what they will get. Far enough up the valley to escape
the cooling influences of San Pablo Bay and the Napa river and
with mountain slopes soaring far above any marine layer from the
west, Howell Mountain AVA (American Viticultural Area) is the
perfect home for those hearty Zinfandel Wines that Californians
love.
Rising dramatically to the east of Calistoga
and St Helena, Howell Mountain and its tumbling hinterlands screen
the tiny town of Angwin (famous for its Seventh Day Adventist
Academy) from prying eyes. A
Napa wine tasting tour through the Howell Mountain
appellation can easily be followed up with a visit to scenic Robert
Lewis Stevenson State Park just a short drive away from Mt St
Helena. |
