Almacerro is one of the most exciting new projects in Napa Valley. The first two vintages are impressive, but my sense is that the best is yet to come. Matilda Scott is the winemaker. Consulting winemaker Françoise Peschon and vineyard manager Mike Wolf round out the all-star team.

Almacerro is a new estate located at the southern tip of Howell Mountain, just below the Las Posadas district, previously known as the old WH Smith property and/or Skyborn, as it appears on our map. The 12-acre vineyard is planted on the white, powdery mix of volcanic tufa and compressed ash that is seen throughout this part of Howell Mountain. Vineyard manager Mike Wolf, consulting winemaker Françoise Peschon and winemaker Matilda Scott, who was previously at Arkenstone head the all-star team. The 2018s are a strong start, but things really pick up with the 2019s.
