2023 Howell Mountain
Estate Blanc
Inspired by the classic white wines of Bordeaux, the 2023 Estate Blanc is a masterful blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, grown entirely on our organically farmed Howell Mountain estate. The Sauvignon Blanc, first planted in 1997, spans six steep, rocky vineyard blocks, each with unique slopes and elevations. A small block of Sémillon adds weight, texture, and age-worthiness to the blend. Our 12-acre estate is farmed exclusively in-house, overseen by Winemaker Sam Kaplan, and cultivated with a deep respect for the land.

from vine to bottle

Our white varieties grow in compressed volcanic ash, known as tuff, lending distinctive minerality and brightness. Red varieties are planted primarily in Aiken series loam—well-drained, iron-rich soils that produce wines of structure and depth. These demanding conditions naturally limit yields, producing small berries of exceptional concentration and character. Farmed organically and tended by our dedicated year-round team, the estate vineyards form the foundation of Arkenstone—wines that reflect the power, elegance, and unmistakable identity of Howell Mountain.
