About Castiel Estate
Castiel Estate is named for the castle — from the French châtel and the Latin castellum, the fortified elevated position that commands the surrounding terrain. The Howell Mountain estate's elevated volcanic position above the Napa Valley floor carries this castle-naming naturally: the estate commands its terrain from the mountain's most elevated point, the volcanic rock formation providing the fortified quality that the castle metaphor requires.
The estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain volcanic red soils with the castle-elevation philosophy the name implies. Wine Advocate has scored Castiel's Howell Mountain Cabernet at 91–94 points.
