Reviews

Romazini: 3/5 Stars

The Winespectator: 89/100 Points

Vintage 2004: Supple and graceful, especially for Mount Veeder, offering a mix of dried herb, ripe currant and cherry, with light cedary, creamy oak. Ends with a layered, complex aftertaste. Best from 2009 through 2013. 10,000 cases made.

The Winemaker

The aroma is concentrated and starts out with ripe fruit expressions of cassis and black cherry. Classic varietal characters of earth, cedar, and spice bring complexity. In the mouth, the wine reveals additional flavors of blackberry and dark chocolate richly framed with ripe mountain tannins. The structure of this wine suggests improvement over the next ten to fifteen years.
