Winemaker's NotesDeep ruby in color with wonderfully rich, ripe berries and summer cherry pie on the nose, complemented by hints of earth, cedar, rosemary, and dried sage. A supple, well-structured palate that's full, almost juicy, with a slightly mineral edge.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot
Critical AcclaimWilfred Wong - 92 points -
vintage 2016COMMENTARY: One of the best reasons to enjoy the Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon is the wine's balance. Winemaker Janet Myers has always produced wines that are well-conceived and well-built. The 2016 vintage is a beautiful effort. TASTING NOTES: This wine is firm, yet well-balanced. Its enticing aromas and delightful flavors of ripe berries and an accent of oak should pair it well with a well-seasoned Porchetta. (Tasted: May 10, 2019, San Francisco, CA)
