Mount Veeder

Known for: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot
Climate: Cool mountain air; former seabed soils; complex and mineral-driven wines

Mount Veeder rises from the western side of Napa, its ancient seabed soils producing some of the most complex, age-worthy Cabs in the valley - more structured than fruity, more cerebral than showy.
