Dark and juicy with concentrated black plum, spice and tangy acidity; rich, smooth and complex with lovely flavors and depth. 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, 2% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot.

Wine Spectator
Rich and Bordeaux-like, with well-defined cedar, cigar box, tobacco leaf and dried currant flavors joining loamy earth, sage and underbrush. Ends with firm, chewy tannins. Best to cellar shortterm.

Mount Veeder Winery is a dramatic estate with three vineyards carved high in the hillsides of the Mayacamas Mountains, overlooking southern Napa Valley. The property totals 121 acres, mostly forest and brush, out of which only 47 are planted to vine.
Vines ranging from 1,000–1,600 feet in elevation cling to rugged, steep slopes that offer cool conditions that lead to slow ripening, which extends the growing season. Mount Veeder is usually the last to harvest in Napa Valley. The result is fruit with highly concentrated flavors - big, bold and brambly - a Cab lover's feast.
Mount Veeder Winery was the first in Napa Valley to plant all five red Bordeaux varieties in the same vineyard. Its expertise with these grapes is manifest in Mount Veeder Winery Reserve, a meritage blend of these noble grapes, which are still grown on the property.
