The 2019 growing season saw healthy winter rains lasting into the spring, giving the vintage a cool, slow start. Moderate temperatures lasted into early summer creating very dense and concentrated skins with the potential for huge tannin and structure. Fortunately, the end of summer and the start of fall saw ideal warmth allowing for extended ripening resulting in well-balanced fruit.
In the glass, the 2021 Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon is visually opaque and dark crimson-purple to the edge. Inviting aromas of cassis, dark fruits, and floral hints of violet layer with barrel spice, pipe tobacco, graphite minerality and subtle hints of bay leaf and forest floor giving nod to its mountain origins. The palate is greeted with huge structure and presence. Youthful flavors of dark cherry, currants and dark fruits lead the way of this densely packed wine.
