Veedercrest

Our signature wine from our namesake growing region. Many critics believe that the cool climate at the higher Mt. Veeder elevations and the thin volcanic soils produce Cabernets that are as good as any from Napa Valley, this wine compares favorable with not only the best of the Napa Valley but also the best of Bordeaux. A bold, masculine Cabernet Sauvignon which possesses both elegance and structure with rich textural body. The grapes for this distinctive Cabernet come from high on Mt. Veeder near to where the Oakville Crossroads crosses Mayacamas Mountains line between Sonoma and Napa counties. There is a complex bouquet of black olives, raspberry, nutmeg, rhubarb, cedar and cherry. Dark vibrant fruit and spice on the tongue lead up to velvety luxurious mid pallete lingering finish. Try with any grilled red meats, roasted prime ribs of beef, and also with complex dishes such as cassoulet, bouef bourguinon or coq au vin. Needs decanting, open well in advance or laying down in a fine wine cellar. Fermented in stainless tanks prior to being aged in five different kinds of French oak for a minimum of thirty six months prior bottling.15.4% alcohol. Residual sugar-zero.
