MT. BRAVE – CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2021 (MAGNUM 1.5L)
Mount Veeder, Napa Valley, California
From the dramatic, high-elevation vineyards of Mount Veeder, crafted by Mt. Brave, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon in magnum is a striking expression of mountain Napa—intense, structured, and built for longevity, with the added benefit of graceful aging in large format.
Tasting notes
Deep, opaque ruby. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry are layered with violet, graphite, crushed rock, and cedar. The palate is powerful and concentrated, showcasing dense dark fruit, firm yet finely polished tannins, and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, savoury, and mineral-driven, a true reflection of Mount Veeder’s rugged terroir.
Style & winemaking
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
High-elevation, steep hillside vineyards on Mount Veeder
Low yields for concentration and intensity
Aged in French oak for structure and depth
Magnum format (1.5L) for slower evolution and enhanced complexity
Food pairing
Exceptional with dry-aged ribeye, grilled lamb, venison, short ribs, and richly flavoured dishes.
Drinking window
Impressive with decanting in its youth, and ideal for long-term cellaring (20–30+ years). The magnum format will reward patience with added finesse and harmony over time.
