Mount Veeder

The vineyards of Napa Valley's Mount Veeder grace the rugged slopes of the southern stretches of the Mayacamas Mountains. These vineyards, perched between 500 and 2600 feet in elevation, typically reside above the veil of fog.

Mount Veeder’s soils primarily consist of ancient seabed deposits, thrust upwards five million years ago during the mountain’s formation. These shallow, sedimentary soils, predominantly sandy loam in texture, foster lush redwood, madrone, and conifer forests. From these challenging, shallow soils of Mount Veeder emerge small berries with deep, concentrated flavors and structure.

Due to Mount Veeder's proximity to the San Pablo Bay to the south and its elevation, temperatures in the vineyards often remain ten degrees cooler than those on the valley floor. Furthermore, evening temperatures exhibit a subtle warmth, leading to diminished diurnal temperature fluctuations. Mount Veeder claims the distinction of being the coolest of Napa Valley’s mountain appellations, with its grapes often the last to be harvested.

There exists an exotic essence within our Mount Veeder wines—a consistent quality year after year, marked by opulent dark fruit and a distinctive vitality. The aromatic profile is characterized by pure blackberry, wild berry, licorice, cedary oak, and notes of graphite, all complemented by a palate of profound depth and structure.
