Mount Veeder Winery
Mount Veeder Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Our Mount Veeder wines speak a language of their own. Becoming fluent in that language, fully understanding all its subtleties and nuances is the trick to making great wine from mountain vineyards. Over the years, we have come to know the mountain’s contours, dips, and ridges and the sequence of ripening that is the key to it all. A Mount Veeder harvest is a zen-like art of moving across a three-dimensional chessboard. Take the uphill side of the vine only, or the downhill side, or just the north, south, east, or west section. We pick only what is ready with peak flavour and ripeness. It’s a complex endeavour, carving with precision – matching areas of the vineyard at the same level of ripeness and leaving others to mature another week or more.
Aromas: Black plum, blackberry, fig and ripe cherry, framed by toasted oak and caramel. A hint of dried herb and oral notes.
Flavours: Concentrated fruit flavours and integrated tannins introduce a rich, full-body structure. Sweet fruit is balanced with acidity and savory notes of leather and wet stone, ending with a lengthy finish of dark berry, baking spice, and mocha.
