| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nBold and powerful, our 2017 Mt. Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful expression of our estate vineyard, adeptly displaying red fruit color and flavor, including Bing cherries and bright red spice, followed by hints of earth, cloves and peppermint. Its firmer acidity lifts this well-structured wine on the palate and will allow it to mature gracefully for years to come. Enjoy this hand-crafted mountain Cabernet now through at least 2030.\r\nAbout Anthem Winery\r\nWe formed Team Anthem in early 2009 to produce small quantities of handcrafted wines from the most distinctive and promising mountainous vineyards in Napa Valley. The Valley is undergoing tremendous change as many of the families which have made Napa Valley wines world renown are turning over their operations to others. This change has created opportunity and in assembling the team we sought the very best of this next generation. After considering over 100 applicants from around the world we selected Jeff Ames as Anthem\u2019s head winemaker. An explosive talent, Jeff has made some of California\u2019s most acclaimed wines over the last few years and has a long and brilliant career ahead of him. In turning to John Truchard to manage our vineyards we get the rare combination of a skilled viticulturist, sound vineyard manager, successful winery owner and someone with firsthand knowledge of dozens of the area\u2019s top vineyards. John also knows Mt. Veeder \u2013 a vastly rewarding yet temperamental Ava. Both Jeff and John are hardworking, no nonsense, low ego professionals \u2013 the kind of guys you\u2019d like to sit down with and have a glass of wine. Our kind of people.\r\nAs proprietors, we\u2019ve consistently provided the team with very simple yet important guidance: let every decision made be solely guided by its impact on the quality of wine we produce. Quality has trumped quantity at every turn and the team has been free to produce without regard to cost, resources, marketing timetables or other extraneous factors. We\u2019ve left the fruit from entire vineyard blocks on the vine, foregoing harvest completely, because the grapes though serviceable, did not develop to our standards. We\u2019ve bulked off perfectly good wine to other producers simply because it was not great and may well do so again in the future.\r\nThis exacting focus on quality means for any given vintage we do not know how much wine we will actually release until several years after harvest. We do know if our wine does find its way into our (beautiful) bottle and pass from our hands to yours we believe it to be outstanding. A wine to be enjoyed with loved ones on special occasions in your life as it is enjoyed in ours. |
