Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

A gift basket of black fruits, cinnamon, and a cocoa on the nose; simpler but supple on the palate with small, silky tannins. QPR is strong with this one.

Chocolate covered cherries, plum, vanilla bean, dry, well structured, tobacco, cigar box.

Aged beautifully. Glad there’s a couple more.

One of my favorites. I am a big fan of Mt. Veeder fruit in general. Nice red fruit with more subtle oak notes. A light touch of minerality.

Last night in Estes and trying a new restaurant. Saw this Napa Cab and gave it a try. Bit younger than I normally drink but there is a freshness to this bottle. Strong dark berries on the nose with a more jammy mid palate that reminds of a light Zinfandel.

Another excellent selection

3/2023. Nice bold cab. Full of flavor and feels nice on the palate.

2019 vintage. Needs time to open and soften. Black fruits.

Did not get a photo at tonight’s meal. Expressive nose. Chewy tannins. Rich mountain fruit. Nicely balanced wine. Drinking nicely even while young, but should improve with age. There’s something about mountain fruit. @BLT Charlotte

Representative of Napa and good quality - ripe, with round tannins and solid structure without being overly extracted or Oaked. Dark fruit a-plenty (blackberries and plums) with chocolate with some tobacco. Easy to like.
