The coyote is part of the natural ecosystem of our Howell Mountain vineyard. It’s diet yearlong is mainly carnivore, but when the coyote starts to feast on grapes, we know it’s time to harvest.
The “Coyote Loser” is a term associated with a winemaker that quits their job in the middle of harvest.
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 91 POINTS - "From a single vineyard on Howell Mountain, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Coyote Loser shows some of that appellation's characteristic pine and blueberry nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, with ample concentration and ripe tannins, followed by a lingering, silky finish. It's a solid effort from an AVA where bargains—meaning anything worth drinking for less than $100 per bottle—are few and far between."
