Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder is delicious right now, although still young.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong fruity nose of cedar, black fruits and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice complexity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, peppercorn and light cola.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Tangy and rich, yet elegant. Needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years, and has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot. Aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 30 months. Only 1,200 bottles produced.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a tasty one from Mount Veeder.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley.
Elegant, soft and smooth. Not 'in your face' kind of wine, which is nice to see out of Napa.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 3 hours of airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Will be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolved.
Good by itself as a sipping wine and good with food. I paired it with a Ribeye steak.
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot. Aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 30 months. A tiny production of only 4 barrels.
