Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2019 (750ml)

Winemaker Notes The 2019 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. Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc Critical Acclaim TP93 Tasting Panel Dark and juicy, with ripe plum, black raspberry, and spice; lush and dense yet elegant WS92 Wine Spectator Ripe and fresh, with sassafras, sweet bay leaf and savory details that lead into a juicy, compact core of cassis and dark plum compote flavors. The modestly toasty finish lets the fruit and savory sides play out, while acidity and tannins underscore everything.
