Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one.
Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.
Strong nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, violets, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberry pie, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, herbs, vanilla, spices, chocolates and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 6 year old Napa Cabernet is still young, but already very enjoyable, even by itself. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward, but calm.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Very flowery once it opens up. I liked the nose better than the palate. A very enjoyable wine.
This Single Vineyard will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in French oak barrels (40% new) for 26 months. A tiny production of only 5 barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$95.

Here is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
On the nose blackberries, blueberries, cooked cherries, licorice, cedar, light vanilla, earth, light bell pepper, spices, celery, tobacco, dark chocolates, coffee, vegetables, light alcohol, peppercorn and pencil lead.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, chocolates, tobacco leaf, licorice, graphite, peppercorn, vanilla, cola and light vegetables.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley. Nicely balanced with a great mouthfeel. Showing nice complexity on the nose and palate.
Still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Showing a little bit of alcohol, which would phase out with bottle time.
Good by itself or with food. Rich, opulent, fruit forward and ripe.
Needs time to open up, it took 2 hours to bring out the tannins and the complexity. As it opens up earth and vegetable notes show up and make it more interesting. Delicious once it opens up.
A good quality wine with good potential to become 95+ point wine. Will age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
I paired it with cheeses, but will pair very nicely with a big piece of steak.
