2008 Fleur de Veeder - 92 pts
"A lovely, polished, feminine Merlot, notable for its lush texture, refined tannins and delicious flavors of cherries, mocha and spices. Really elaborate, for drinking now." - Wine Enthusiast
2008 Alden Perry Reserve - 92 pts
"A distinguished Bordeaux blend from a winery that flies a bit under the radar. It's rich and dramatic in intensely concentrated mountain fruit, brimming with blackberry and black currant flavors, liberally oaked and framed in thick, refined tannins. Possesses real elegance and dynamism, but it needs bottle age. Hold until 2014." - Wine Enthusiast
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon - 92 pts
"Taste immature now, an awkward combination of ripe, intense mountain fruit, oak, tannins and acidity, none of which has come together yet. It's a bold, masculine wine, rich in blackberries, cherries and minerals, but it wants a good 5-6 years to meld." - Wine Enthusiast
2007 Alden Perry Reserve - 94 pts
“Impressive from start to the very long finish, and even better than the splendid ’06. Rich and full-bodied, this Bordeaux blend is marked by soft, sweet tannins and concentrated, oak-infused flavors of blackberries, black currants and chocolate, with complexing notes of olives and smoked meats. Should develop for up to a decade.”

2006 Mountain "Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon" - 93 pts
"Hard to imagine greater concentration in a Napa Cabernet that you'll find here. It's just insanely rich in blackberries and blueberries and liberally oaked, while the tannins are hard and potent. Nowhere near ready now, even though it's already more than five years old. Give it at least six years in a good cellar, and it could easily go another decade beyond that." - Wine Enthusiast
2006 Flower "Reserve Merlot" - 93 pts
A very rich, sumptuous wine, filled with cherry, red currants, cola, mineral, herb and oak flavors, but they're wrapped into the hard tannins Mount Veeder is known for. Dry and sophisticated, but tough, it's a wine that wants time in the cellar. Better after 2014. - Wine Enthusiast
