2015 Mount Veeder Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

After 22 years sourcing their Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon from the Pym Rae Vineyard, the 2015 will be their final bottling from the late Robin Williams’ 19-acre property.

The older vines deliver classic black raspberry, licorice, espresso bean and crushed stones in the nose and on the palate. The tiny yields are responsible for the intensity of the color and structure this year. The Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec help to give the Cabernet Sauvignon a lovely plushness and roundness in the middle. James Suckling Rating: 94

2012 Signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Exhibits beautiful layers of blueberry and black cherry aromas mingled with bittersweet cocoa, cinnamon and cigar box. Rich and dense on the palate with blackberry, dried fig and anise flavors, the wine is further enhanced by savory and earthbound elements of dried sage and French roast coffee. The tannins are firm, refined and mineral laden, offering a complete, long-term and rewarding wine experience.


Balances highly aromatic, well-delineated Mount Veeder fruit with saturated flavors, polish and poise. Generous and concentrated on the palate, this dynamic wine delivers its signature of savory blueberry and blackberry fruit, freshly ground espresso and aromas of anise, dried sage and cigar-box. A satisfyingly persistent finish of dark fruits unfolds to reveal notes of graphite, toasted hazelnut and seamless, finely-knit tannins.


Exhibits remarkable balance and freshness. Showing exuberance and plushness on the palate, its power stroke is its density of fruit and delineated character. Impressive on entry, the wine is brimming with dark fruits—black cherry, savory blueberry and cola are wrapped in an earthy ribbon of bittersweet cocoa, espresso and hints of vanilla. The palate is gorgeously textured and lively, revealing sweet herbal notes of anise, dried sage and tobacco.
