About Mount Veeder
Mount Veeder rises along the western edge of Napa Valley in the Mayacamas Mountains, producing some of the valley's most powerful and complex mountain wines. Vineyards here are planted on steep, rugged terrain that was first planted in the 1860s, making it one of Napa's oldest winegrowing areas.
The thin, well-drained soils and high elevation produce small berries with intense concentration. Mount Veeder Cabernets are renowned for their tannic structure, dark fruit intensity, and extraordinary longevity — wines that reward patience.
