This is a real blockbuster Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon that combines wonderful fruit notes of black currant, blackberry, cigar box and black cherry, toffee and cocoa. The wine is fat and rich with deftly textured tannins. The weight is intense here and stays with you for ages as the finish goes from blackberry to violets to orange blossom, lingering for what seems like an eternity. There is a very small percentage of Cabernet Franc that lifts the mid palate and brightens the intense aromatics.
