Wine Review: This pitch black colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder opens with a black currant and blackberry pie bouquet with hints of black tea, cigar box, and cinnamon. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and savory. The flavor profile is black licorice and black currant blend with notes Dr. Pepper and cedar. We also detected hints of bacon, baking spices, and thyme. The finish is dry, and its moderate dusty tannins are nicely sustained. The Tasting Panel would suggest pairing this Cab with braised short ribs or Roy’s rib roast. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Etched in aromas of sage, cedar and pencil shaving, this wine is robust and ripe, brawny, and burly in style and approach, reflecting its Mt. Veeder source. The fruit is dark and broodingly rich. Thick layers of blackberry, black cherry, toffee, and earthy tobacco framed within a foundation of firm, integrated tannin, and balanced power. Structured, age-worthy, and complex, the wine finishes on sustained savory notes of cardamon, clove, and freshly tilled earth.
