Staining the glass with a deep ruby color, the 2020 Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon's colors are derived from thorough extraction during the winemaking process. On the nose, Dark plum and herbaceous sage notes mix with mineral notes of carbon and graphite. Cassis is also apparent with an expresso finish of Moka and leather. The aromas promised on the nose ring true on the palate. The extracted tannin paired with a healthy acidity, create ta beautiful platform for the fruit, herb, and mineral notes to sit atop. Secondary notes of baking spice also appear upon second and third sip. Beautiful now with decant, this wine will age for another 25+ years.
