Displaying Howell Mountain’s signature concentration and complexity, QUINTVS is a rigorous barrel selection of the five distinct soil types found at ADAMVS. From the powdery gray volcanic ash to the iron-rich red clay Howell Mountain is most noted for, QUINTVS artfully represents the soil’s expression in the wine.
2021 QUINTVS
The complexity of 2021 QUINTVS tells the story of our diverse estate vineyard. A bold expression of mountain fruit, with layered notes of Montgomery cherry, dark plum, and ripe boysenberry at its core. These rich, concentrated flavors are supported by an earthy undertone that evokes the scent of a humid forest floor: damp soil, moss, and cedar with a subtle thread of dark honey adding warmth and depth. The wine's natural intensity is balanced by freshness and structure, showcasing the power and elegance characteristic of Howell Mountain fruit. Drink now or cellar.
