Chris Carpenter has done a terrific job with these new released from La Jota, one of Kendall Jackson's Howell Mountain properties. The W.S. Keyes Merlot is the top of the line, but this year I find more compelling quality in the entry-level offerings. As always, the wines are built on a dark blue/purplish expression of mountain fruit. Carpenter discusses the attributes of Howell Mountain and Mt. Veeder in this short video.
