2014 Vintage - Blackberry /currants , concentrated (seems Saigneed ) needs decant -  Brown sugar , with oak background tannins are very supple out of a 375ml

Dark berries, red licorice, cocoa, earth. All in good balance after a few hours in the decanter.

I’d put this in the category of “supremely balanced”. It could age another year or so but the tannins are like the harmony to the melody of the gourmet grape jam notes. Normally saying a wine reeked of grape jam would be an insult but this is...like artisan grape jam. With a hit of booze in it. That you’d spread on brioche. Not the most complex cab but really lovely. Soothing. Lullaby wine. Perfect pop n pour with a friend to round off a busy Monday.

Super young fruit with a stiff spine of tannin and acid. A babe but the quality is obvious. Needs time. Should have a bright future though!

Youthful, boisterous nose, characterized with sweet, smokey wood and meadow flowers. Palate is tight and tannic, displaying the typical Mt Veeder signature. Ripe presentation of fleshy blackcurrants and blueberries. Finishes with density and white pepper. Leave this for another 3 years at least.

Classic Mt Veeder Cab from Chris Carpenter, winemaker at Lokoya. Currants, black fruit on the nose. Flavors of cassis, currants and mocha held together with smooth tannins. Long finish. Consider this a baby Lokoya. Really good. 2014 vintage on September 13, 2018

Blackberry, cassis, raspberry jam, vanilla, plum, mossy earth, licorice, oak and eucalyptus. Excellent structure and velvety tannins.
