Winemaking: This is our most complete expression of Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon and a clear reflection of the two rugged, high-elevation vineyards its sourced from. Dark and structured at first, the wine reveals layered blue and black fruit, lifted herbal nuance, and a mineral-driven tension that carries through the finish. Firm yet beautifully resolved, the tannins are silken in texture, lending grip and elegance. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone and depth, while Merlot softens the mid-palate and adds suppleness. Cabernet Franc extends the finish with freshness, aromatic lift, and savory complexity. Powerful without heaviness, the wine is defined by balance and restraint as much as intensity, offering immediate appeal while promising continued development and longevity in the cellar for the next 15-20 yrs.
Tasting Notes: Flowering herbs, dense blue and black fruits, pencil shavings and a pinch of tobacco lift from the glass and carry all the way through the finish. Firm while silky tannins stimulate the palate with balanced acidity. Wait until 2028 for continued development, and the potential for plenty of aging. Firm while silken tannins and plenty of length complete the wine
Aging: 30 months in French oak (60% new & 40% used once)
Food Pairing: Serve it with light and mild-flavored foods.
