The estate on Howell Mountain is no ordinary vineyard. Planted to nurture rather than disrupt the ecosystem that has thrived there for centuries, the Ink Grade is at once lush and rugged, idyllic and unforgiving. This dynamic balance is expressed in every bottle. The single-vineyard wines of Ink Grade Estate debut nearly 150 years after their land was acquired by Napa Valley legend Theron Ink. Andosol draws inspiration from the historic field blends of California. The inherent stress the rugged site lends to grape growing will saturate the grapes with intensity and depth. An elegant example of this historic varietal, the 2018 Andosol is a reflection of all that Ink Grade has to offer, a wine polished and bold offering vibrant black cherry, floral notes, and volcanic minerality. With fine tannins and balanced acidity, it’s perfect for immediate enjoyment or long-term aging.
