2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2022 vintage is a continuation of our mission to focus on elevating all aspects of winemaking, vineyard management, and fruit sourcing. We believe that great grapes come from great people who share our passion for distinguished terroir. We’re proud of the grower relationships we’ve maintained, whose knowledge and intuition guide them as they adapt to the challenging vintages like 2022.
Our final blend for the 2022 vintage includes a significant portion of Merlot, which adds freshness, bright red fruit notes, and a plush texture on the palate. The 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon showcases expressive aromatics, generous fruit, and soft tannins that are amenable to enjoying upon release.
2021 Mount Veeder Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
The first-ever vintage of our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. With the release of our 2021 vintage, we have significantly reduced production to focus on improving wine quality and farming practices, allowing our winemaking team to handpick the best lots that showcase the finest vintage qualities. This vintage features robust, well-structured tannins and natural acidity, offering a balanced profile of freshness and longevity. In the glass the palate is structured and rich with complex dark fruits like blackberry, cassis, and plum, complemented by herbal and floral notes that evoke the spirit of our mountain vineyards on Mount Veeder.
2022 Mount Veeder Estate Merlot
As a historic mountain winery that has built its reputation on Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends, we don’t often have the opportunity to showcase our estate’s Merlot—but 2022 was an exception. While tasting through the maturing barrels, winemaker John Giannini was captivated by a lot of Merlot from our North Ranch vineyard. As it developed, its fruit character deepened and intertwined with the barrel’s toasted sugars, further convincing him that this lot deserved to be bottled on its own as the first Mount Veeder Winery Estate Merlot. With only 70 cases produced, is a testament to our dedication in both the vineyard and the cellar.
