Dark, rich, and delicious, the brand new release of Aloft is another winner! After just a few years of cellar time, this boutique production Cabernet blend is displaying a velvety smooth texture,  serious impressive mountain fruit (on steroids) and youthfully prominent tannins. Hints of dark chocolate coated cherries, blackcurrants, baking spices, espresso and vanilla emerge on the bold finish. Enjoy now (decanting recommended prior to 2025) through 2030. – March 2022

Aloft Winery

Angelina Mondavi is at the forefront of a new generation of winemakers. She began her
career at the age of 10 assisting the lab manager at her family’s winery Charles Krug.
After graduating from high school, she attended Villanova University and majored in
Chemistry with a minor in Business to create a well-rounded foundation for her future
in the wine industry.

Angelina's first job after graduation was with Hess Collection working as a lab rat during
harvest. Continuing her education in wine, she moved to Barossa Valley in Australia
landing a position working harvest at Yalumba Wine Company. While in Australia, she
earned a master’s degree in Oenology from the University of Adelaide's Waite Campus.
Upon her return to Napa Valley to be closer to family in 2007, Angelina joined Pine
Ridge Vineyards as the assistant winemaker until 2010. Since then, she has embarked
on many adventures, including working as an assistant winemaker for five and a half
years for a Napa Valley cult brand making 100-point wines nationally and
internationally. While producing these wines Angelina joined forces with her three
sisters to launch two highly sought-after Howell Mountain brands, Aloft and Dark
Matter wines.
