It struck me as a bit young and closed with nice potential, even on night two (stored half bottle overnight in refrigerator). It was giving aromas of caramel and vanilla over black cherry. There were flavors of plum, cedar, and ended on lingering black cherry notes. Medium tannins and acidity should keep this interesting for several years.

I picked up a few bottles so took the liberty of having one early. It’s a baby now for sure, full of ripe fruit on the red and black scale, tilted towards red. Not as tannic as I thought it would be. Actually pretty well behaved for something this young, good mountain grapes coming through. Not too many secondary notes right now. Maybe a touch of savory mint but not pronounced to be sure. Looking forward to comparing over time.

Blue and black mountain fruit, touch of sweetened sage. Delicious wine.

Ripe and clearly mountain fruit to it. Ripe and oak. And mountain fruit. Its all there, if a bit straight ahead, and yet still Mount Veeder.
