96 Points - James Suckling
The Mt. Brave 2019 Mount Veeder Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful yet beautifully refined mountain Cabernet sourced from the acclaimed Mt. Brave and Veeder Peak vineyards. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4.5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot, it reveals aromas of blackberry, cassis, blueberry, violets, graphite, dark chocolate, and baking spice. Full-bodied and impeccably structured, the palate delivers concentrated black fruit, mountain minerality, polished tannins, and vibrant acidity that lead to a long, elegant finish. A cellar-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet showcasing the strength and finesse of Mount Veeder.
96 Points - James Suckling: "Blackcurrants, blackberries, crushed stones, graphite and hints of violets. Full-bodied with firm, finely grained tannins that run the length of the wine. Structured, layered and focused with excellent freshness and a long finish."
