Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Hall's Segassia Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is teeming with ripe black fruit. Aromas of ambrosial blackberry preserves, lavender and dark chocolate bound from the glass. The palate is lush and structured, with layers of black plum, crushed violet and black spice. Broad and muscular in its disposition, this wine will age effortlessly for 20 years.

Professional Ratings

    The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Segassia Vineyard is a racy, super-ripe offering bursting with ripe juicy plums, black cherries, menthol, chocolate, spices and licorice. It possesses tons of inner sweetness and an extroverted personality. It is a beautifully balanced, striking wine. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.
  • 93
    Notably polished and graceful for a Mount Veeder Cabernet, this full-bodied red is well-balanced, focused, pure and persistent, offering a mix of ripe berry and cherry pie, espresso, loamy earth and sage-underbrush notes. All in all, an excellent wine. Best from 2012 through 2024.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Mt. Veeder Wine

Napa Valley, California

Centered at the peak for which it is named, Mount Veeder is Napa’s largest sub-AVA. But even though the entire appellation spreads over 16,000 acres, vineyards cover a mere 1,000. Scattered among Douglas firs and bristlecone pines, Mount Veeder vineyards extend south from the upper elevations of the Mayacamas Mountains—the highest point at 2,400 feet—to the border of the Carneros region. Less than 25 wineries produce wine from Mount Veeder fruit.

Winemaking began early in this appellation. In 1864, Captain Stelham Wing presented the first Mount Veeder wine to the Napa County Fair; it came from today’s Wing Canyon Vineyard. Prohibition, of course, halted winemaking and viticulture wasn’t revitalized until the founding of Mayacamas Vineyards in 1951 and Bernstein Vineyards in 1964.

The Bernstein Vineyards was actually home to the first Petit Verdot in California, planted in 1975. Today most of the Petit Verdot in Napa Valley originates from this vineyard.

Rocky volcanic clay and ancient seabed matter dominate Mount Veeder soils—perfect for Bordeaux varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot enjoy spectacular success. These varieties produce wines rich in brambly blackberry and black cherry fruit with herbal and floral aromatics. Structures are moderate to assertive and wines have great staying power.

Chardonnay from Mount Veeder is lush, full and balanced mineral and fresh citrus flavors.
