Description

Mt. Brave Vineyard sits above the fog line at elevations ranging from 1,400' and 1,800' in Napa Valley's acclaimed Mt. Veeder appellation, allowing for slower ripening to retain freshness, acidity and overall structure. Crafted by Winemaker Chris Carpenter, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful and opulent but maintains an underlying thread of pure finesse. Blackberries and spice jump from the glass followed by secondary notes of dark chocolate and anise.

This rich red wine has great spice and floral notes on the nose, with blue fruits, toast, and dark cherry dancing on the palate. Minerality and weight lead to a wonderful finish.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
USA, Northern California, Napa Valley: 2016 & 2017 – A Tale of Two Vintages The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3.5% Merlot, 1.5% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep purple-black, it sings of warm blackberries, cassis and wild blueberries with hints of violets, dark chocolate, cigar box and menthol. Full-bodied and laden with black and blue fruit, it has a firm structure of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long.
