Looking for Howell Mountain Cabernet?

When harvest is this close, a vineyard's track record matters.

Available for the 2026 vintage is Cabernet Sauvignon from Ponderosa Vines, a 1.9-acre vineyard sitting at approximately 2,000 feet on Howell Mountain. Planted in 2001, the vineyard features Entav clone 191 on 110R rootstock, with cane-pruned vines and tight 4x4 spacing.

The grower reports an average harvest of approximately 6.5 tons, but there's another detail that stands out for wineries still evaluating fruit: 2021 and 2022 vintages from the vineyard are available to sample.

At this point in August, sourcing decisions are becoming increasingly concrete. Having the opportunity to evaluate previous vintages can add valuable context to the vineyard specifications and help winemakers determine whether the site fits what they're looking for before making a 2026 commitment.

For wineries still searching for Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a sourcing conversation worth having while there's still time before harvest.

Every winery has its own way of finding the right fruit.

Sometimes it's an appellation that starts the search. Sometimes it's a vineyard's farming, elevation, clone, or production history. And sometimes the opportunity to taste what a site has produced in previous vintages helps turn a promising lead into the right sourcing relationship.

The WIN Marketplace helps bring those opportunities into view, connecting wineries and growers alongside listings for bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services. With harvest getting underway and sourcing decisions becoming increasingly time-sensitive, it's a place to see what's still available and start the conversations that can shape the next vintage.
