Located at 1,800’ above Napa Valley on Mt. Veeder, Mt. Brave was founded in 2007 by the late Jess Jackson, who named the estate after the native Wappos or “the brave ones” who settled this steep, rugged terrain in the 1880s. Winemaker Chris Carpenter produces consistently high-scoring Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, from the estate’s mountain fruit, all of which must be hand harvested. These wines express the essence of Mount Veeder: intense, concentrated, elegant, approachable and age worthy.
