The hallmark of Howell Mountain wines is unmistakable power and longevity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage: 2021 was a warm, dry year following multiple drought conditions in Napa Valley, resulting in low yields, small berries, and highly concentrated fruit. Harvest started early with no major heat spikes or disruptions. An ideal vintage with gradual heat that allowed winemakers to pick leisurely and hang time to impact quality tannin. This produced wines with intense dark fruit, firm but ripe tannins, excellent structure, freshness, and balance. Critics and producers highlight it as one of the finest recent vintages for mountain appellations like Howell Mountain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Barrel: Aged in Darnajou barrels. These barrels are renowned for using premium French oak (primarily from central France's oldest forests like Allier, Nevers, or similar tight-grain sources), selected with exhaustive specifications for exceptional fineness, density of grain, sweetness, and aromatic\/chromatic complexity. This results in barrels that subtly enhance a wine's intrinsic aromas without overpowering it, delivering elegant integration of delicate vanilla, spice, toast, cocoa, candied fruit, and savory notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: bold aromas of ripe black fruits—blackberry, black currant, cassis, boysenberry, and plum—layered with savory mountain elements like scorched earth, graphite, iron, crushed rock minerality, dried herbs, pine needles, tobacco, leather, and some subtle espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Full-bodied density, firm tannins providing serious grip and structure, vibrant acidity for freshness and balance, and flavors echoing the nose with dark fruit, earthy undertones, and subtle spice or oak integration.

This bench is celebrated for its elegant balance, vibrant fruit purity, and refined structure—often striking a harmonious middle ground \u003cimg\u003ebetween the power of mountain sites and the riper opulence of warmer valley-floor areas. The wine is shaped by well-drained alluvial and gravelly benchland soils (with some volcanic influences on the east side), moderate daytime warmth, and cooling fog\/marine breezes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage: 2022 in Oakville was generally hotter than normal. Including a week plus stretch of over 100 degrees. Grapes were picked earlier and all at once in a chaotic yet quality vintage of, riper and robust style wines.

In addition to its beautiful vineyards, the farm also holds a bustling duck farm on property. Made from 100% Baco grapes, each Armagnac is aged in a single new oak barrel for its entire life at one of the farm’s 400-year-old Cellars. Since 1983, Christian Bergerot, the second-generation owner, has worked the property and over time, he was able to purchase land from the former owner, André Labarbe. Starting in 1987, both he and André Labarbe distilled and barreled separate Armagnac from their respective portion of the land on property. This barrel is only the second barrel filled with Bergerot’s own Armagnac and represents a time capsule when two generations worked together at Ferme de Bacoge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes: \u003c\/strong\u003eNose: Well-balanced and intense cherry and toasted oak with some savory nutmeg, clove, and pepper.\u003cbr\u003ePalate: Very ripe dark cherry, demerara sugar, supple leather, and condensed cola syrup.\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Long-lasting and dense dried cherries and sweet oak notes shine through from the palate and nose. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OADE Armagnac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48772997611760,"sku":null,"price":252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/1616\/9712\/files\/2025.090195_1.jpg?v=1769630946"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.oadearmagnac.com\/collections\/frontpage.oembed","provider":"OADE Armagnac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
