This second vintage is even better than the first. From a 1-acre vineyard along Silverado Trail planted by David Abreu in 1990 to the renowned Spottswoode clone, the 2023 captures both pedigree and place. Aromas of blackberry, black plum, and macerated cherry mingle with wild sage, rose petal, and a hint of cocoa. The palate is refined yet powerful, framed by velvety tannins and lifted by fresh acidity. Layers of red currant, cardamom, and cocoa unfold through a long, seamless finish. The 2023 vintage shows remarkable balance and will continue to gain depth and complexity over the next two decades. 240 cases were made. Limit up to six bottles per person.

MOWE’s story is deeply rooted in the wine world. After more than two decades leading a top Napa-based cork company supplying many of California’s finest wineries, Dustin and Renee Mowe turned their passion for wine into something of their own. In 2020, they purchased a 1-acre vineyard along Silverado Trail—planted by David Abreu in 1990 with the renowned Spottswoode clone—and began producing their own wines. With a shared love of Sauvignon Blanc, they partnered with winemaker Maayan Koschitzky of Atelier Melka to source fruit from a dry-farmed, cool-climate vineyard in Coombsville. Today, Maayan crafts their Sauvignon Blanc while Matt Sands of Lithology oversees the Cabernet—both of which became near overnight successes, earning acclaim and collector interest from their debut release.
