August 13, 2015 - A treat, distinct mountain fruit personality. Depth of flavor and pronounced minerality. Boisenberry spice on entry, black plum and white pepper. Really in a good spot, would say drink now to enjoy the tactile nature of the fruit. Sorry that this was my last bottle. Future vintages moved to Atlas Peak, but I like this Mt. Veeder expression.
