Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and complex spice, 76% Cab Sauvignon, 22% Malbec & 3% Petite Verdot . On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with floral spice, integrated vanilla oak and earthy cinnamon. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and soft earthy notes, will still develop! A nice fillet mignon with Cabernet gravy will go well.

Classic Napa Cab with some age on it. Drink now in my opinion.

I just love Hess wines. I swear this wine hasn’t budged since it was bottled. It’s intense, lively and extremely detailed. Notes of coffee and blackcurrants on the palate. A long finish with proud tannins. Stunning.

1997 vintage showing very very well. Smooth tannins good fruit and a medium plus finish. The fruits were dark currents and cassis.

May 30th, 2016Mountain fruit from 2000 foot elevations with restricted root development. This was a cooler year and it shows. An hour or so open revealed the chocolate and blackberry layers and allowed some acidic qualities to soften.
