    Winemaker Notes

    The 2009 Cab is made in the classically elegant style of Napa Valley's cooler vintages, which tend to produce age-worthy wines of increased structure and complexity. Accordingly the winery "dropped" a lot of fruit in the 2009 growing season to compensate for the consistently cool weather.

    The result is a deliciously perfumed wine with graceful, bright fruit and a long, lingering finish. Aromatics of violets, baking spice, caramel, raspberry and cherry are balanced with fresh, dark plum, raspberry and cocoa flavors.

    The youthful tannins will soften with time, and they add a classic style to the wine that makes it an ideal companion to rich, meaty dishes or hearty pastas. The wine is 100% unfined and unfiltered to highlight its authentic character. Accordingly the natural sediment up near the cork is a distinctive feature of the wine which may either be decanted or poured off prior to serving.

    Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Malbec

    Rubissow Winery Image
    In the 1980s our father and his partner Tony Sargent, founded Rubissow-Sargent wines - sourced entirely from the 45 acre Rubissow estate on the steep southern hillsides of Mt. Veeder. Today, as second generation owners we are excited to present our own wines - Rubissow. Our aim is true: to make rare, single vineyard wines promising deep expression of place, exquisite enjoyment and rewarding ageability.

    Winemaker Timothy Milos is our accomplice in wine - the next interpreter of the Rubissow Vineyard. Together, with shared ambition and modern craft we bring you the entirely reimagined Rubissow wines.

    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.
