2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
N a p a V a l l e y
Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon is filled with mountain
character, big, bold and brambly. We blend fruit from our Mount
Veeder ranches with other small lots of rich, intense Napa Valley grapes
to create a powerful and complex wine, with fine tannins and the
potential to age.
Appearance Deep ruby.
Aroma Layers of blackberry, red plum, and dark
forest fruits. Vibrant and rich, with
compelling notes of bay, chocolate, and
coffee.
Taste and Texture Concentrated dark cherry and cassis, with
bright fruit character, a well-structured
palate, and fine mountain tannins. Big yet
approachable, the mouthfeel is full and
round, with good body and balance. Sweet
oak notes complement the vibrant fruit,
and the long finish is graced by flavors of
cocoa, cassis, and rich mountain character.
