In the glass, this Napa Cab has a DARK purple center with thin-bricking edges and no translucency….
On the nose: I’m hit with dark fruit, mocha, and cedar box….
Time to DRINK and when I doπππDAMN……
This wine is juicy ++++++++ yet grippy……
It’s opened up ++++++++ but it still holds holds my attention……
Early in the mouth there are red raspberries and plums with just a lil green pepper note. The mid-palate takes a turn towards figs and tobacco……. By the time I chew through the wine and get to the ending, I go toe to toe with anise and cedar which is held together beautifully by a rich but grippy tannin structure…….
This wine, ladies and gentlemen π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·is what NAPA CAB SHOULD BE!
There are so many shitty, ultra-premium, overpriced Napa Cabs on the market right now it will make your head spin… the fact that Veeter is able to put this offering out – with a middle of the road price tag – is ASTONISHING.
Pick up a few bottles of the 15′ vintage, lay ’em down in the cellar, and crack them in 2021!!!!!
