Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

No formal notes sorry. At first kind of flat but then this wine did grow on me. From a supposedly very poor vintage with fires etc. . I do actually think this will grow into something very interestin ….. — 5 days ago

As fires go in Napa/Sonoma, there was a relatively small fire of 500 acres in the wild that burned from 8/31 to 9/8 but did not really/truly impact the vintage. As you noted on two points, the growing season wasn’t Napa/Sonoma’s best. But I believe the 2011 vintage turned out better than many critics scored it young. As in any difficult vintage anywhere, some producers still make nice wines as you noted with this Cabernet. The fires of 2017 & 2020 did greatly impact the vintages. There are good wines in those vintages too! However, I would cross reference the fires dates with any producers harvest dates before purchasing wines in those vintages. Cheers! 🍷🥂

Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 2023

A solid producer year after year! Very juicy and light. Some whole cluster. Very likable and unoffensive. Touch bitter. Orange zest, more red fruit than dark. Cherry/Hint blackberry. Touch oregano. Lime. Crushed marble. Covers the back palate nicely. Lots going on here. I consider this a drink now wine 36 bucks and 13.5%. There are just a handful of Pinots which win me over at this price point. And this one is in the Burgh killer zone. If you like Pinot this is a winner @ San Diego Wine Co. — a month ago

Estate Grown Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Inky in color with a reddish rim.

Pretty nose of black fruits with cedar, vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice and cola.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, chocolates, peppercorn and tobacco.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley.

Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward, rich and smooth.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Zinfandel, 7.5% Petit Verdot and 7.5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (33% new) French Oak barrels for 20 months.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$75.

Very interesting style of Cab Franc. Robust and fill of dark fruited notes though still balanced, perhaps due to age. — 15 days ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2021

2021 vintage. PNP'd. Not nearly as explosive and satisfying as that damned 2019 vintage and less body than the corresponding 2020 vintage but a bit more depth and a tad more spice than 2020. A Trader Joe's spesh at $15.99. Think it'll add a little more body and Beatles Come Together notes in the next 6 months-2 years and maybe bump up to a 9.1. At that price, picked up a few bottles to have at the haus through the holidays. 11.5.25. — 21 days ago

Mount Veeder Syrah 2008

Intense red fruited aromas and flavors, a little less tannic and structured than the 2007, but this shows bracing acidity at the present time, long, lingering finish, which the incredible acid backbone lifts and lengthens, another wine to ideally drink from 25-30 years after the vintage! — a month ago
