2022 Mount Veeder Cuvée
The 2022 Mount Veeder Cuvée is an inaugural collaboration between 20 of our member wineries, each providing rare wine lots, with a final blend crafted by esteemed winemakers, Aaron Pott and Sean Capiaux.
The growers and vintners of Mount Veeder are deeply connected to their land, history, and community. The wines embody that shared connection. Our Napa Valley appellation is a one-of-a-kind wine growing region, and the slopes of Mount Veeder provide an unparalleled combination of elevation, topography, and climate, giving birth to wines of complexity, elegance, and balance. This limited production wine is a harmonious blend of wines from across the appellation, embodying the richly intense, age-worthy characteristics of our rare mountain wines and the beauty and unity of Mount Veeder.

VEEDER SUMMIT AND CREST PANO
Mount Veeder, in the Napa Valley, is a one-of-a-kind appellation with wine production severely limited by nature. West of Napa and Yountville, Mount Veeder has been producing richly intense, age-worthy wines since the 1860’s.

Napa Valley Wines at Their Peak
The wines from Mount Veeder – the mountain by the bay – reflect the independent spirit of its mountain growers and vintners, borne of rugged conditions that demand hand craftsmanship at the highest level.
- The longest growing season and the lowest yields in Napa Valley.
- Virtually all vineyard work is done by hand, due to the rugged conditions and steep slopes.
- Rugged mountain terrain. Extremely steep slopes, above the fog, render shallow topsoil and minimal water retention, resulting in tiny berries, with intense flavor concentration ye soft tannins.
- It is the only hillside appellation in Napa Valley that adjoins the cool, bayside Carneros, benefiting from the cooling influence of San Pablo Bay.
- Mount Veeder is an island of ancient seabed pushed up into a mountain, surrounded by volcanic soils that typify the rest of the Napa Valley.
