The Vice Wines The Waterfall Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Napa Valley, California It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Ruby in color with medium plus intensity and a wide reddish rim. Strong nose with red and blue fruits, light oak, spices, wild flowers and chocolate notes. Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, plums, tobacco, licorice, light oak, coffee, spices, chocolates, peppercorn and light tea. Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries. This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder is starting to drink very nicely now. Tangy and spicy. Complex with a nice mouthfeel. Tangy and engaging. Showing good structure, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Fruity, but not in your face kind of wine. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be interesting to revisit it in 5 years. Needs a couple of hours in the decanter to open up properly. Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from vines grown at 2,400 feet of elevation, were aged in (70% new) French Oak barrels for 24 months.
