Collector's Series 50th Anniversay Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, coffee, peppercorn, tobacco, smoke, peppermint, licorice, spices, chocolates and coffee.
Smells like figs wrapped in bacon, and shoved in the oven. Loved it, and loved those cedar notes.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 8 year old from the great 2012 vintage is spicy, rich and smooth. Delicious and tasty.
This is exactly what you want from a Napa Cabernet. Not too over the top. Nicely balanced with a great mouthfeel and nice complexity.
Delicious once it opens up. I had this vintage before and this time I gave It 3 hours. Will be good in the next 5 years.
Good by itself or with food. A nice sipping wine to share with friends and talk about.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$125.

It is #FridayCabernetfix time. Here is a gorgeous one from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a wide red/ brick rim. A very pretty color.
On the nose blueberries, black currants, spices, cedar, cooked cherries, black licorice, vanilla, tobacco, green pepper, pencil lead, earth, herbs, light vegetables, dark chocolates, dark coffee and peppercorn. Very nice complexity on the nose.
Medium plus in body and soft, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, wood, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, earth, light vegetables, bitter herbs and graphite.
Long finish with fine tannins and tangy raspberries.

Not your typical Napa Cabernet, which is nice to see. Showing lots of fruit and earth notes, that make it very interesting.
This 8 year-old from the great 2012 vintage is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and blossom. I had a little taste right out of the bottle, and let it be for 90 minutes. When I came back, what a big difference on the nose, especially, so be patient for that lovely nose.
This is a wine to savor. I loved smelling on it for a long time.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Great with the Brie cheese.
