About THE GRADE Cellars
THE GRADE Cellars is named for the grade — the steep incline of the road, the percent of rise that determines whether a slope is merely challenging or genuinely prohibitive. Applied to Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, the grade is the steepness of the volcanic terrain that forces vine roots deep, limits yields, and concentrates the mineral character that the mountain's most dramatically sloped vineyard blocks produce.
The Howell Mountain estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from the steepest volcanic vineyard blocks on the mountain, where the grade itself is part of the wine's character. Wine Advocate has scored THE GRADE's Howell Mountain Cabernet at 92–95 points.
