This robust, mountain-driven Cabernet Sauvignon exudes dusty mineral notes, layered with sagebrush, liquorice, incense, and graphite. Full-bodied, with intensely structured mountain tannins, the wine presents a compact dark fruit core, offering remarkable depth and concentration. The tannins are incredibly intense, yet they are beautifully framed by a core of juicy acidity, adding lift and balance. The lengthy mineral finish is enhanced by a fantastic brandied cherry sweetness, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and power. A true reflection of Mount Veeder’s rugged terroir, this vintage is both commanding and refined, built for extended ageing.

The nose is robust and deeply scented, with aromas of mulberries, blackcurrants, pine needles and spices. The palate is full-bodied with firmly integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mocha, dark cherries, tapenade and dried herbs. Quite pure and focused. From a hot vintage. Drink or hold.
