2022 Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER
“The 2022 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of remarkable balance, generosity and age-worthy elegance. It unveils a layered bouquet of ripe, red cherries, black currants, and subtle dark fruits, complemented by nuanced hints of cedar, clove and graphite. The palate is structured yet refined, with fine-grained tannins supporting broad, concentrated flavors that carry seamlessly to a long, lingering finish. This distinguished expression showcases both depth and sophistication, offering immediate pleasure while promising graceful evolution with time—a true testament to the craft and terroir of Mount Veeder.”
– Stephanie Pope, Senior Winemaker
