Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc.
The Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep ruby color. Aromas of black plum, blackberry, fig and ripe cherry, framed by toasted oak and caramel. A hint of dried herb and floral notes. The concentrated fruit flavors and integrated tannins introduce a rich, full-body structure. Sweet fruit is balanced with acidity and savory notes of leather and wet stone, ending with a lengthy finish of dark berry, baking spice, and mocha.
Review:
This robust, mountain-driven Cabernet Sauvignon exudes dusty mineral notes, layered with sagebrush, liquorice, incense, and graphite. Full-bodied, with intensely structured mountain tannins, the wine presents a compact dark fruit core, offering remarkable depth and concentration. The tannins are incredibly intense, yet they are beautifully framed by a core of juicy acidity, adding lift and balance. The lengthy mineral finish is enhanced by a fantastic brandied cherry sweetness, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and power. A true reflection of Mount Veeder’s rugged terroir, this vintage is both commanding and refined, built for extended ageing.
