WINE & SPIRITS
Maybe you were intrigued by the power and restraint of the Ridge, but you are
hankering to get back to Napa Valley. Here are three wines that take ripe Napa Valley
cabernet in fresh directions. Coombsville offers its version of freshness by its
proximity to the San Pablo Bay, the source of Napa Valley's daily morning fog. Silverado's
Geo grows on the sides of an ancient volcano, eroded to deep, gravelly loam soils that
produce this earthy cabernet. It has the savory aspects of the Ridge, in herbal accents to
its dark fruit, but it emphasizes the supple texture-almost velvet-that comes from fruit
grown in deeper, richer soils. * If you want more of the tannic power of the Ridge, head
up to Howell Mountain, where the vines live above the fog in thin, volcanic soils. Robert
Craig's Howell Mountain Cabernet has warm, pungent tannins, even while its black fruit is
more luscious, ripened by the afternoon sun. * Howell Mountain faces west, while across
the valley, Spring Mountain faces east, toward the cooler morning sun. Its wines tend to
reflect that in foresty scents-notes of sage and madrone-and in power that derives from
the tannins rather than overt alcohol. Michael Keenan grows savory cabernet, saturated
with flavors that bring to mind fruity mushrooms more than sweet plums. It has the cool
mountain intensity of the Ridge while adding the kind of meaty power you might expect
from Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon.
