About Bjorn Vineyards
Bjorn Vineyards is named for bjørn — the Scandinavian word for bear, one of the most powerful and ancient naming traditions in Norse culture. The name declares wine of ursine strength and mountain power: Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from volcanic terrain where the vine's struggle against poor soils and extreme diurnal swings produces wines of the concentrated, structural power that the bear's name implies.
The Howell Mountain estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from volcanic red soils at high elevation where the bear-power philosophy finds its natural expression: dense, concentrated, built for long aging, the wine equivalent of the animal whose name it carries. Wine Advocate has scored Bjorn's Howell Mountain Cabernet at 91–94 points.
