Brandlin Estate Mount Veeder Estate Cuvée 2019, Napa Valley, California
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, diet coke, dark chocolates, light earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, light spices, black pepper.
Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, stewed cherries, chocolates, cedar, coffee, tobacco, cola, light earth, herbs, peppercorn, licorice and green tea.
Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Mount Veeder. Elegant and robust. Spicy and entertaining.
Well balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Rich and extracted. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 2 hours in the decanter.
This 5 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years, with good potential to become a 94 point wine.
Easy drinking and very tasty. Loved the complexity on the nose and kept smelling on it.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Zinfandel, 7.5% Petit Verdot and 7.5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (33% new) French Oak barrels for 20 months.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$75.
