2007 Hess Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

One 750ml bottle

The signature Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Hess' estate Veeder Hills Vineyard. At an elevation of 600-1,120 feet, its steep slopes and sedimentary clay and shale soils restrict root growth, resulting in Mount Veeder’s hallmark small berries with intense fruit flavors. True to its appellation, this wine possesses dark concentrated fruit flavors and robust tannins. 
 
The '07 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon shows vanilla, cinnamon, and Asian spices in the nose, which give way to ripe fruit. Wild mountain blackberry and boysenberry are layered with fine-grained tannin to create a memorable wine of grace and complexity. The addition of Mount Veeder Malbec adds a heightened intensity to the fruit and lends texture to this wine, while softening and balancing the tannins for a long elegant finish.
