Mount Veeder's elevation brings structure and elegance to this 2021 Cabernet, where dark fruit and bramble aromas meld with a touch of Malbec for mouth-filling cassis and complexity. Forty years of estate winemaking on this mountain, and the fruit carries it plainly.
Winemaker Notes
The 2021 estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon provides a beautiful complexity, elegance and structure we have come to expect from our mountain fruit. Aromas of dark black fruit and bramble highlight the Cabernet Sauvignon at the heart of the wine. They integrate a touch of Malbec to provide mouth filling notes of cassis and boysenberry, and to develop a softness in the tannins, making this a wonderfully round wine. It has a perfectly balanced structure with well-integrated toasted oak that offers subtle notes of cocoa on the lengthy, pleasing finish.
