RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

...seamless core of cassis, raspberry and dark cherry, with velvety richness forming a concentrated bond on the palate.

...scents of crème de cassis, blueberry compote and Christmas cake with an undercurrent of plum preserves, camphor and cigar box. Big, rich and full-bodied on the palate, it delivers impactful, maturing black fruit and spicy flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great length.

93Wine Spectator

Lush and well-fruited, with lots of boysenberry, blackberry and plum flavors rolling through, laced with apple wood, anise, violet and sweet tobacco notes. Shows a tarry edge on the finish but the fruit keeps pace easily.

PRODUCER

Anthem

Anthem Winery and Vineyards was established in 2009 by Justin and Julie Arbuckle to produce small-batch, ultra-premium wine. Jeff Ames is winemaker and John Truchard is vineyard manager. Both have respected track records in Napa Valley. Ames worked as assistant to star winemaker Thomas Brown on projects for Schrader, Maybach and Tor. In 2003 he became head winemaker at Tor. Truchard is a second-generation Napa Valley vineyard developer and manager. He manages 25 vineyards. Anthem’s debut release was the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder. Anthem in 2010 produced Cabernet Sauvignon from prestigious Beckstoffer Vineyard fruit, and produced a Mt. Veeder Merlot. The wines have earned ratings in the mid-90s from reviewers.

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.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
