The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3.5% Merlot, 1.5% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep purple-black, it sings of warm blackberries, cassis and wild blueberries with hints of violets, dark chocolate, cigar box and menthol. Full-bodied and laden with black and blue fruit, it has a firm structure of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long... Robert Parker Wine Advocate

It’s a Ferrari in a school zone. In a few more years, it will be like a Ferrari at Monza. Beast.

Mmmmm herbal sage and juniper. Cigar box... like I can distinctly taste the cedar and the tabacco. What a pleasure. A rollercoaster of flavours and really looooong finish. Delicious. Also, please note the New Years celebration on zoom in the background. Happy end of 2020 everyone.

Haven’t had this since 2020, so 3.5 years later... Last review included “cherries, cherries, cherries,” and had it at 9.1. This has evolved very well! Chocolate, cherries, and a very nice funk that gives this wine a touch of old world. Big fan! 93-94

2016 vintage. Big but not brawny. Smooth but not polished. Structured but not grippy. Just really well-made with proportionate “componentry” and outstanding concentration throughout.

Dark color, hints of mountain complexity and tobacco. But this did not live up to the hype for me or Julie..

Cherries, cherries, and more cherries. Better on night 2 and probably needs time to settle down.
