About This Wine

Mount Veeder Winery

Cabernet Sauvignon

A Mount Veeder harvest is a Zen-like art of moving across a three-dimensional chessboard. Take the uphill side of the vine only, the downhill side, or just the north, south, east, or west sections. They pick only what’s ready and at peak flavor and ripeness. It’s a complex endeavor and needs to be carved with precision, matching areas of the block that are at the same level of ripeness, and leaving other sites to mature another week or more. The resulting wines are rich and full of fruit flavors like ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, and plum that are interlaced with complex notes of sweet herbs and spice—a delicious wine made by hand.

Wine Region

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Blackcurrant tasting note. Blackcurrant
  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

Deep ruby in color with intense dark fruit aromas of ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, and plum interlaced with complex notes of sweet herbs, clove, vanilla, dark chocolate, and toasty oak. Blackberry, cocoa, and black peppercorn unite on the layered palate with complex dark berry notes and cassis with highlights of bay leaf, anise, and mocha. Full yet elegant on the palate, with vibrant fruit and very approachable tannins with hints of nutmeg and vanilla bean add to the long persistent finish.
