2016 Veeder House Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder

The 2016 Veeder House Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder is a bold, mountain-grown Napa Valley red that showcases the power and purity of high-elevation Cabernet. Sourced from one of California’s most respected terroirs, it offers the structure, depth, and character that have made Mount Veeder Cabernet a benchmark for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Cabernet typically shows a deep ruby to garnet hue, signaling concentration and age-worthy depth. Aromatically, expect layers of dark blackberry, cassis, cedar, graphite, and subtle notes of dried herbs and vanilla from oak influence. On the palate, it is likely full-bodied and firmly structured, with ripe dark fruit balanced by mountain freshness, firm tannins, and a long, savory finish. The 2016 vintage should have excellent aging potential, with the density and acidity to continue developing complexity over the coming years.

Production
Mount Veeder is known for its rugged, high-altitude vineyards, steep slopes, and well-drained soils, all of which help produce small, concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon berries with intense flavor and natural structure. Harvest is typically done by hand due to the challenging terrain, and careful vineyard selection is essential to preserve quality. Vinification is generally geared toward extracting depth while maintaining balance, often followed by aging in oak to add complexity and polish.

Food & Serving
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, roast lamb, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decant for 1-2 hours if enjoying it young to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.

Producer
Veeder House is associated with the premium Cabernet Sauvignon tradition of Mount Veeder, a Napa Valley subregion celebrated for producing some of the area’s most distinctive mountain wines. While detailed producer history is limited, the name reflects the estate-driven focus and regional identity that define top-tier wines from this acclaimed hillside appellation.
