2018 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep garnet color, this wine features layered aromas of freshly cracked black pepper, black tea, blackberry compote, and lavender. On the palate are rich, dense and focused tannins cascading with flavors of dark berries, cardamom, tobacco and wet stone. A long and flavorful finish is supported by finely textured, yet powerful tannin. This wine begins with profound nuances of dark fruits, crème de cassis, Asian spices, mocha, cigar ash and anise. Dense, rich and concentrated, this delivers layers of crème de cassis, mocha, black tea, anise and sweet pipe tobacco that sit alongside gorgeous velvety tannins. The aromatic profile is characterized by pure blackberry, wild berry, licorice, cedary oak, and notes of graphite, all complemented by a palate of profound depth and structure.
