RATINGS

94-96Vinous / IWC

...possesses gorgeous aromatic presence and a level of depth not seen in many wines in this vintage.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings appear on the nose, joined by suggestions of dried sage and bay leaf garnishing black cherries and cassis. It's medium- to full-bodied, a bit less bombastic than either the Rutherford or Oakville Cabernets but silkier and more refined, with a lingering, softly tannic finish.

93James Suckling

Powerful and layered with aromas of blackberries, dark plums, graphite and mountain herbs. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish.

91-93Jeb Dunnuck

It has plenty of ripe black and blue fruit intermixed with lots of sappy herbs, chocolate, and cedary graphite notes. It's medium to full-bodied, has a balanced, layered mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and outstanding length.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Mount Veeder

Mount Veeder AVA was established in 1993, though its origins as a wine producing district date to the 19th century. A German Presbyterian pastor named Peter Veeder was one of the first landowners in the area, and by 1864 one of his neighbors, a German sea captain named Stelham Wing, was producing wine commercially. The area continued to attract German agricultural entrepreneurs, some of whom established the estate that would later become the Christian Brothers Mont La Salle winery. Today the AVA includes about 1,000 acres of vineyards, most of them at relatively high altitudes. The Mayacamas vineyard, for instance, is at 2,400 feet. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most frequently planted grape, followed by Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
