2014 Anthem "Estate" Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon (Elsewhere $120+)

SKU #1474198

An almost unfathomable winery direct deal on Mt Veeder Cabernet. When you look at the specs of this wine it's just unbelievable the value that's packed in here— and it's estate grown in one of Napa's most highly regarded sub-regions for ageworthy Cabernet. Farmed by John Anthony Truchard, one of the finest grape growers in the valley, and meticulously crafted by one of the most accomplished and critically acclaimed winemakers of a generation, Jeff Ames (TOR, Schrader, Maybach). Aged in the finest Taransaud and Daranjou French oak cooperage money can buy, bottled unfined and unfiltered, and held for two years in bottle before release. We agreed to hide our price here, but I will say this much, this is a DEAL you don't want to miss! (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer)

After the blow out success of the 2015 Anthem we went back to the winery to see if they could supply another deep deal. With much of their library wine being held for a new tasting room on Mt. Veeder, we managed to secure one more parcel of their Estate Cab. Just like the 2015, this powerful, brooding wine was crafted by cult winemaker, Jeff Ames, (who by the way just added a few more perfect scores to his running total with recent TOR releases) and again combines Veeder's volcanic minerality with Jeff's rich, hedonistic style. Those powerful mountain fruit tannins are just beginning to loosen their grip on this seven year old wine, and it's already more expansive than when I first tasted it a year ago. The best of this wine is still to come as is it heads into a decade of prime drinking. This may be the last chance to take advantage of these incredible direct deals from Anthem as the winery's direct to consumer program kicks into gear after the disruptions of the last 12 months. We sold out fast last time around and received many many requests for more 2015 after it was long sold out, don't let that happen to you this time around!

Top Value! Drink from 2021 to 2030

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blends

- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Napa Valley

- America's most famous wine region, which encompasses a varied geographical territory running about 20 miles long from the San Francisco Bay northward to the foot of Mount St. Helena. Napa's great diversity, both in terms of climate and terroir, has led to the creation of a number of smaller AVAs like Stags Leap District, Rutherford, Howell Mountain, Oakville and Mount Veeder, among others. Cabernet and chardonnay still reign supreme, but just about everything under the sun is grown in Napa Valley, in quality levels ranging from $2 jug wine to $500 a bottle California cab.
