Mount Veeder 2023 "Elevation 1550, 50th Anniversary Editon" Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

The 2023 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, fig, cedar, and warm baking spices, showing both richness and lift that reflect the character of the vintage. On the palate, it is medium‑ to full‑bodied with lively acidity, polished tannins, and a seamless texture that carries flavors of black currant, pine, olive, and forest floor into an opulent, mineral‑tinged finish. This combination of mountain intensity and Napa Valley elegance makes it an excellent partner for grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, herb‑crusted lamb, roasted mushrooms, or aged cheeses, where its structure and dark‑fruit depth complement savory, richly textured dishes.
