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.

1/2025. Bold and good fruit. Dark color and nice finish.

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
