Steady summer heat accumulation with only a couple of short hike spikes combined with a near-perfect fall season created great phenolic accumulation without high sugar concentration.\u003cbr\u003eGrown on the rocky slopes of Mt. Veeder, 2018 is mountain Cabernet at its finest. Aromas of blue and red fruits intermingle with a touch of baking spice. The tannins are firm yet refined while the weight on the palate is dense and lush. Compelling now, one can only imagine its true cellaring potential\u003cstrong\u003e#68 of Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2020\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful and opulent but maintains an underlying thread of pure finesse. Blackberries and spice jump from the glass followed by secondary notes of dark chocolate and anise. Perfectly balanced acidity leads to a long, memorable finish.

Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder bursts out of the glass with vivacious black currants, black cherries, and wild blueberries notes with touches of dark chocolate, licorice, violets, and cloves. Full-bodied, firm, and very finely grained in terms of texture, the palate explodes with fruit and freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully fragrant.

Lots of dark chocolate, blackcurrant, forest floor, and espresso notes all emerge from this full-bodied, concentrated, impressive effort that’s going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and have 20+ years of longevity.
