In About A Mountain, we reflect on three revered vintages in Napa Valley history through rare library selections:
- 2012 Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2016 Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2021 Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
The flagship of our portfolio, the Hess Collection Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the first wine we ever produced. Since 1983, each vintage has given a snapshot of this mountain we call home.
Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is deep and complex, full of cassis, mountain bramble, and baking spices. A touch of our mountain-grown Malbec adds boysenberry layers while softening tannins. It has a perfectly balanced structure with subtle notes of cocoa on the lengthy, pleasing finish.
