Tasting notes
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder has a similar dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit with some earth and spice. It is full-bodied and ripe, but at the same time elegant and pure. This wine can be drunk now or cellared or another 20-25 years.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and the rest Malbec and Cabernet Franc, aged in 80% new French oak. Floral notes intermixed with blueberry and black raspberry fruit as well as blackcurrants jump from the glass of this wine, which has full body and terrific texture, purity and length. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
A big, explosive wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder hits the palate with serious intensity and pure power. Rich, deep and authoritative in personality, the 2013 speaks with real presence. There is plenty of mountain tannin to ensure many years of fine drinking. This is the darkest and most powerful of the Mt. Brave 2013s.
