FINAL WEEK for 94pt Mount Veeder Cab Franc

Hi everyone. First, we’re so thankful to find this forum. We’re a small boutique, direct-to-consumer winery in Napa that started making wine in 2018 from the Wildcat Vineyard on Mount Veeder. We’re four individuals who are self-funding our passion. Unfortunately, we released our first two wines in February 2020 just before everything shut down and we had to cancel our release parties and tasting events.

Our 2018 Mount Veeder Cab Franc is amazing. Customers who have bought it send us pics of their open bottles and tell us how much they love it. That’s the truth. Even before we put it into French oak barrels in November 2018, we knew we had a great wine on our hands, and it continues to delight us and our customers.

Last year we made our first rosé from 100% Cab Franc from a prestigious vineyard in the Carneros appellation that we can’t name due to an NDA. Many of you probably can guess the name. This rosé has a vibrant salmon color with beautiful aromas. It’s layered and changes in the glass, thanks to the Cab Franc. We think it drinks like a white wine, and we discover different nuances each time we open a bottle.

As a first-time poster on this forum, I’m asking you to take a leap of faith and try our wines. We never intended to discount heavily but times have drastically changed and here we are. We have two offers for you:

2018 Mount Veeder Cab Franc: two bottles for $130 (reg. $160) and $10 ground shipping OR free local delivery in Napa County or metro Phoenix. Use promo code CF2 at checkout.

Majuscule, Mount Veeder, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Franc Wildcat Vineyard 2018 ($80): A dense, rich Cabernet Franc from a small producer that is new to me, and clearly one to watch. Sourced from Wildcat Vineyard at about 1800 feet above sea level, it’s all about the blackberry and violets on the nose, with soft earth and oak tones adding depth. The palate delivers the black fruit on a plush texture that folds in the other elements from the nose and brings some pepper forward in the finish, where a little acidic push brightens and invites you back for more. Very impressive even at this young age, and worthy of some cellaring at that. I notice that the wine is on sale on the producer’s website as I write this, so don’t delay!
