Mt. Brave Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
99 Points, James Suckling – 97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc. It’s a classic Mountain Cabernet with full-bodied richness and ample, although velvety, tannins as well as pure cassis and currant-like fruits, gorgeous mid-palate depth and opulence on the palate, and beautiful complexity in its tobacco, graphite, and bouquet garni-like nuances. It’s another remarkable wine from Carpenter that has some upfront accessibility today yet deserves 3-4 years in the cellar. It will have two decades of overall longevity, and as top Napa Cabernet Sauvignon goes, it’s a terrific value.”

A fabulous wine of focus and polish with very fine tannins that caress your palate and give great length to the finish. Medium to full body. The aromas of violets and currants are so beautiful. Dreamy. Best ever? A blend of 92% cabernet sauvignon, 4% cabernet franc, 2% merlot, 1% malbec and 1% petit verdot. Give it three to four years to soften.

2024 Winemaker of the Year Winner, Chris Carpenter (VinExpo Paris 2025)
Mt. Brave’s vineyards sit at a staggering 1,400-1,800 feet elevation on Mt. Veeder, where thin, rocky soils and steep slopes create an incredibly challenging growing environment. The vines sit above the fog line, bathing in morning sunlight while cool mountain air preserves acidity. This struggle produces tiny berries with extraordinary concentration and complexity.
The winemaking is equally meticulous – hand-harvested during cool morning hours, followed by native malolactic fermentation in barrels (94% new French oak) and 20 months of aging. The result is a masterpiece of precision and power – a wine that delivers Carpenter’s signature balance of concentrated cassis fruit, velvety texture, and complex tobacco and graphite nuances with delicate precision and decades of ageability.
