Incredibly concentrated, opulent #stmacaire #mtveeder single varietal from Nice Wines. One of the most concentrated wines I’ve ever poured, inky dark purple, leaves color on the sides of the glass. Tsunami wave aromas of dark bramble fruit, cassis, purple plum, backed by layers of baking spice, underbrush, dried herbs. Lush acidity on first taste, fine textured tannins, some dark chocolate on the trailing finish. Beautiful wine that makes the most of great Napa mountain fruit. — 3 years ago

Decadent #mountveeder #cabernetsauvignon from Nice Wines. 75% Cab, 16% #stmacaire, 8% #merlot - beautifully balanced full-bodied red. Hedonistic blackberry liqueur, plum, touch of tobacco, dried mint on the nose. Beautifully integrated oak, lush acidity to balance out that big fruit and fine tannins that build on the tongue over repeated sips. For the $60 member price, this is my idea of awesome Napa mountain Cab. — 3 years ago
