Mt. Brave
Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley is drinking beautifully already, although needs a few years to reach its peak.
Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Rich and extracted, yet elegant. Fruit forward and engaging.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 95 point wine.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot.
15.1% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$90.

Another gem from Chris Carpenter. Full bodied with concentrated mountain fruit. Silky tannins. Long savory finish. Enjoy now and years to come

2021 vintage. Mount Veeder used to (generally) be a mountain fruit pushover until the last two decades. That has changed. Mt. Brave been killing it for some time and this is no exception. A token trace of richness up front but quickly swept into mid and post-palate tannins. Grippy but not overtly so. 10.09.24.
