One of my favorites. I am a big fan of Mt. Veeder fruit in general. Nice red fruit with more subtle oak notes. A light touch of minerality. — 19 days ago

This Lagier Meredith Syrah (2016) is stunning!!

It presents red, black, and blue fruit characteristics, such as fresh mulberry, redcurrant, strawberry preserves (like fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt), black cherry, cassis, ripe blueberry, next to black tea, anise, fennel, clove, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, cacao, crushed white and black pepper, and earthy, potting soil notes.

On the palate it’s dry, smooth, and balanced with a lingering finish. Alcohol (14.5% ABV) and tannins are notable and well-integrated.

This wine hails from higher elevation sites of Mount Veeder in Napa Valley and is delicious! — 3 months ago

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. — 5 months ago

The tannins on this have softened nicely although it’s still pretty big. I get cocoa and cherry over tobacco with a touch of baking spice. — a month ago

So delicious!!!! A perfect balance of ripe (almost jammy) red and black fruit, licorice spice, and vanilla alongside sweet baking spice.

On the palate, it’s dry with medium(+) acidity, a medium(+) body, high alcohol, and medium tannins that are ripe and soft. — 3 months ago

Surprisingly fruity if you give it time to open. Cherry, cassis, and leather with soft oak. — 6 months ago

Right off with blackberries, pears, touch of caramel, chocolate and smoke. A woodsy build of tannins followed by a moderate acidity that builds up, lingering to the finish. Really wonderful. — a month ago
