Somnium is the Howell Mountain estate of race car driver Danica Patrick. The 2016 has developed nicely since I last tasted it. My impression is that there is quite a bit of potential here. This new project is certainly off to a good start.

I first chanced upon Danica Patrick's vineyard when I was working on our map of the vineyards of Howell Mountain. This west-facing, hillside parcel was developed only beginning in 2011, so it is very early days for this clearly highly ambitious project. Aaron Pott makes the wines.
