The Hess Collection
Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
Blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Malbec, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits with spice, herb and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe cherry and blueberry with currants, cacao, pepper and tobacco notes. Fine grainy tannins, good structure, long finish, great mouthfeel, ending with cedar, fruit and tobacco spice notes. Very Nice.

Cedar, cranberry, strawberry and moderate plus acid. A classic Mount Veeder Cab.

Dec 17th, 2018Nose is plum and spice. The palate features dark fruit, cedar, spice and minerals. Tart fruit takes over toward the finish that ends in medium tannins and long acid. A bit on the syrupy side due to the high alcohol content.

Lots of big tannins, but pleasant. Delightful, inky, big fruit bouquet without too much sweetness. Needs some time to open in the glass or decanter - complex on palette , balanced with anise and floral. Great core of licorice wild dark blueberry, tarry, but not stringent, cassis. Big & Bold. Lovely. Would buy again and lay down longer - 5 more years would be perfect. Love to find around $45
