Howell Mountain
Howell Mountain is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in Napa Valley, California. It is situated on the eastern side of the valley, characterized by its mountainous terrain and volcanic soil. The AVA is known for its high elevation, ranging from 1,400 to 2,200 feet, which contributes to a unique microclimate that is cooler than the valley floor. Howell Mountain is recognized for producing robust red wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon, which thrive in the region's well-drained soils and warm days followed by cool nights.
