2019 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

Our signature Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our estate 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 2019 estate-grown Cabernet provides an exemplary expression of the sophistication, complexity, and structure that we’ve come to expect from our mountain fruit. The Cabernet Sauvignon produces aromas of ripe, wild, mountain raspberry, along with gentle notes of vanilla caramel. The subtle touch of Malbec adds a soft, mouth-filling texture on the palate. Enticing flavors of dark plum, licorice, cocoa and vanilla oak spice unite to create a supple wine that lingers for a pleasing finish.”

– Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking

2019 VINTAGE NOTES

Every vintage and harvest presents a unique set of obstacles, and we approach every year ready to face the challenge. Vintage 2019 began with occasional rains and cooler temperatures, which brought soil saturation and allowed fruit to mature steadily. Summer helped the grapes to ripen, and the warm days and cool nights of the Fall fostered gradual sugar accumulation and longer hang times. Harvest began slightly later than normal in some areas, with fruit picked at its peak, promising exceptional flavor in the bottle.
