Meadowcroft
Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ purplish rim.
On the nose blueberries, black currants, black plums, oak, licorice, light vanilla, earth, light vegetables, eucalyptus, tobacco leaf, herbs, dark chocolates and black pepper.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, red currants, oak, tobacco, licorice, earth, cocoa, spices, coffee and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder is still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Showing lots of earth notes, once it opens up (90 minutes).
This 4 year old is showing black fruits on the nose, and red fruits on the palate. Feels more like a Left Bank Bordeaux. Interesting stuff. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with dried meats and crackers. Will pair nicely with lamb dishes.
A small production of only 7 barrels. Bottled in May 2021.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$115.
