2021 Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Our signature Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our Veeder Hills Vineyard. Steep slopes and clay soils restrict root growth, resulting in Mount Veeder's hallmark small berries with intense flavors. Elegant notes of violets and cherries are followed by deep cassis and milk chocolate.

About

TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER

"Our 2021 estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon provides a beautiful complexity, elegance and structure we have come to expect from our mountain fruit. Aromas of dark black fruit and bramble highlight the Cabernet Sauvignon at the heart of the wine. We integrate a touch of Malbec to provide mouth filling notes of cassis and boysenberry, and to develop a softness in the tannins, making this a wonderfully round wine. It has a perfectly balanced structure with well-integrated toasted oak that offers subtle notes of cocoa on the lengthy, pleasing finish.””

– Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking
