The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder Single Vineyard features notes of tar, cedar and dusty soil over a core of cassis, wild sage and kirsch. The palate is firm, medium-bodied and chewy with a dip in the mid-palate and an earthy finish. It may fill out with a bit more age and warrant a better score in the future.
