Mission Codename Over the Mountain

This is a special wine from a venerable vineyard atop Mount Veeder. Their 2011 significantly outperforms many Napa Valley Cabernets from the challenging vintage. In any vintage, this is a 15-25 year wine. Treat yourself to a fabulous, one of a kind, Napa Valley superstar winery.

“Absolutely stunning, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder is a beauty. Notes of charcoal, blueberry liqueur, black currants, licorice, incense and violets jump from the glass of this 93.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.5% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc blend that was aged in 91% new French oak. This full-bodied 2011 is a tremendous success for the vintage, again reflecting that mountain sites often did very well, and taste like a completely different vintage than the valley floor 2011s. This savory, fleshy wine has low acidity and ripe tannin, so it can be drunk now or cellared for a decade or more.”

94 points - Vinous, Antonio Galloni November 2013

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous. Blueberry, blackberry, cloves, menthol, spices and licorice are all woven together in a Cabernet Sauvignon that is relatively soft and supple for a mountain wine. Sweet perfumed notes flesh out on a highly expressive finish laced with violets, jasmine and lavender…This is an absolutely beautiful bottle of wine.”
