Description
We are thrilled to offer this limited release, purchases are limited to 3-bottles. 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.

RECENT TASTING NOTES

Showcasing the lovely freshness of high-elevation Mt Veeder grapes. Vivid boysenberry and mulberry fruits give way to mountain herbs, dusty minerals and rich toasty cedar. A compact wine revealing black-fruited flavours and savoury herbal nuances alongside sculpted tannins that are pixelated and mouthcoating. An impressively long finish of iron shavings, baked agave and dried chaparral.
