TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER

“There are certain special blocks within our Mount Veeder estate vineyards that produce fruit which showcase the art of winemaking at elevation. Mount Veeder is Napa’s coolest and wettest mountain growing region, resulting in extended harvest dates, allowing fruit to ripen in an almost leisurely journey to your glass. This blend is led by Malbec and then Cabernet Sauvignon, both recognizable for juicy dark fruit flavors and aromas. The wine has a deep red hue due to the high Malbec content. This vintage is rich and opens with plush, round tannins and vibrant flavors of plum and Bing cherry. Careful aging in new French oak presents a long vanilla finish with delicate notes of baking spices.”
