Wine for mezcal drinkers had me interested, until I realized it was just mediocre. Maybe past it’s prime when I opened it, but a good 2014 would be singing right now!

Purpl red. Acid plus, but very focused flavors and great structure. I think in 2-3 years it is going to be even more open and complex.

Round and juicy with very good concentration of flavors. Adequate extraction and good balance. Long finish. Pretty good wine.

Wonderful nose, appearance, and balance. All that one looks for in a cabernet. This wine has scored high for me in several blind tastings now.

Striking smoke / charred oak flavor is interesting but also a bit overpowering. More enjoyable with food. Wine for mezcal drinkers !

Wonderfully aged Mt. Veeder Cab. Drinking great now but will probably hold on a few more years. Raspberries, tobacco and leather. Paired with homemade grilled chicken parmesan.

A monster wine, young, tight, tannic. Needs air and ageing. Potential is there.

Mt. Veeder Tasting. lovely nose of dark fruit, cinnamon and berry and Mt. Veeder Earth, more of the same on the palate, easy drinking, medium/big body, and medium/long finish.
