Introducing

Howell Mountain vs. Mount Veeder

Explore the dynamic expressions of Howell Mountain and Mt. Veeder, two of Napa Valley’s most celebrated high-elevation AVAs, each offering a unique take on mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon.

Howell Mountain wines are known for their power and intensity, with deep concentration, firm tannins, and a structured profile that allows them to age beautifully. The higher elevation and volcanic soils create bold, expressive wines with dark fruit, spice, and a distinct minerality.

Mt. Veeder, in contrast, produces wines with remarkable freshness and elegance. The steep, rugged terrain and cooler climate result in Cabernets with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and layers of complexity. These wines are known for their balance, with deep mountain fruit, floral notes, and a long, refined finish.

Discover selections from Benchmark Wine Group that highlight the best of both Howell Mountain and Mt. Veeder—wines that will elevate any collection.
