Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2015

This wine is young, still promising, and although approachable now promises to evolve easily for 15 or more years. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is another exuberant, full-throttle style of Cabernet...

Wine Spectator, April 2015

In 1999, longtime friends Roger Louer and Robert Young began making wine together from Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain.

In 2009, Roger Louer produced a Louer Family Reserve Cabernet from his personal estate in St. Helena for a select group of friends. That wine was sourced from the best barrels of the 34 acre estate and has sold out before it was produced for the past three years. Roberts + Rogers released the 2012 vintage under the R+R label.

The Roberts + Rogers Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the very best lots from prestigious Howell Mountain vineyards. These vineyards combine volcanic soil with a high elevation mountain terrain above the fog line. The fruit is exposed to sunshine for longer days & warmer nights providing even ripening & full maturity.

Roberts + Rogers is a handcrafted, big, muscular 100% Cabernet... opulent, bold, rich and decadent, packed with intense, ripe jammy black fruit. Silky tannins from 24 months of 100% New French Oak create a long complex finish!
