“Above the fog line at 1,500 feet, this is an incredibly beautiful, yet stressed vineyard that produces trademark Mt. Veeder characteristics. Enticing aromas of cigar box, tobacco, earthy fruit, plums and Mirto, a Sardinian liquor crafted from myrtle berries, is complemented with deep layers of baking spice and cedar flavors finishing with chewy tannins. The wine has low acid and soft tannins, giving it nice approachability and finesse.” – Mario Monticelli
