The Flying Blue Courtier Cabernet Sauvignon from Mt. Veeder represents a high-elevation Napa Valley mountain wine crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. This premium wine is sourced from select mountain vineyards in the Mt. Veeder appellation, known for producing wines with exceptional power and mineral character.

The wine showcases blue, black, and red fruit flavors, including juicy blackberry and freshly picked blueberry, framed by rich cedar wood character. It builds with power and intensity through grippy mountain tannins that define the Mt. Veeder terroir. Wet slate notes add minerality, lifting and brightening the long finish. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and finished in new French oak to enhance its structure and complexity.

Mt. Veeder's raw, high-elevation mountain vineyards produce Cabernet Sauvignon with distinctive characteristics that set it apart from valley floor wines. The volcanic soils and cooler mountain temperatures create wines with firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional aging potential. This wine is built to cellar and will develop beautifully over the next 10-15 years, though it can be enjoyed now with proper decanting.
