2021 vintage. Mount Veeder used to (generally) be a mountain fruit pushover until the last two decades. That has changed. Mt. Brave been killing it for some time and this is no exception. A token trace of richness up front but quickly swept into mid and post-palate tannins. Grippy but not overtly so. 10.09.24. — 3 months ago
Full body, opens up over time. Not too sweet or fruity. — 22 days ago

The tannins on this have softened nicely although it’s still pretty big. I get cocoa and cherry over tobacco with a touch of baking spice. — 4 months ago
So delicious!!!! A perfect balance of ripe (almost jammy) red and black fruit, licorice spice, and vanilla alongside sweet baking spice.
On the palate, it’s dry with medium(+) acidity, a medium(+) body, high alcohol, and medium tannins that are ripe and soft. — 6 months ago

On the nose and palate are concentrated notes of crème de cassis, juicy blackberry, plum, purple fig, mulberry, violet, black licorice, anise seed, peppercorn, clove, vanilla, cardamom, leather, and forest floor. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a medium (+) body, high alcohol (14.5% ABV), and velveteen tannins with a persistent finish.
