Tasting notes
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Mount Veeder appears to be the most complete wine in the 2016 lineup. Complex notes of leafy herbs, forest floor, spice, and currants all flow to a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, elegant red that has integrated acidity, no hard edges, and a good finish. Given the prices, these all come up short on depth and intensity.

The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder Single Vineyard features notes of tar, cedar and dusty soil over a core of cassis, wild sage and kirsch. The palate is firm, medium-bodied and chewy with a dip in the mid-palate and an earthy finish. It may fill out with a bit more age and warrant a better score in the future.
A very intense, perfectly ripe and seamless cabernet that delivers a wealth of dark berries, blue fruits ad blackberry on the nose with attractively integrated oak spice, earth, black truffle and violet-like perfume. The palate has an extraordinary array of fine, layered tannins and a long fresh and alluringly succulent finish that holds fresh and long. Superb cabernet. Drink or hold.
