WE –
This red is youthful, wound-up and full of tension. Plush, polished tannins add to a weighty mouthfeel filled with deep flavors of cassis and blood orange, with seasonings of sage, herbes de Provence and black and white pepper. A showcase of sophisticated complexity, it will do well in the cellar.
DEC –
A slick and condensed showing, with a rich, lavish nose of reduced black fruits and fresh brownies. The palate is loaded with ample purple fruits, while the finish comes around with a typical Mount Veeder sturdiness. For lovers of a confident, forward, opulent style but also seeking a chewy, gritty structure.
JD –
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder showed brilliantly, with a dense purple color as well as killer notes of blueberries, pine forest, violets, graphite, crushed stone, and lead pencil. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied, structured wine that displays the vintage’s purity and freshness, building tannins, and a great finish. There’s plenty of classic Mt Veeder structure, so give bottles 4-5 years if you can.
JS –
This has aromas and flavors of blackberry leaf, thyme, blackcurrant, licorice and cedar. It’s medium-to-full-bodied with firm, tight tannins. Mineral and iodine character on the finish. Needs some time to soften.
VIN –
A vertical, soaring wine, the 2018 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon speaks with commanding authority. Red-fleshed fruit, blood orange, dried herbs, mint, iron and savory herbs build into a crescendo of aromas, flavors and texture. The Mount Veeder Cabernet is wonderfully vivid and so expressive.
