It just tastes a bit weak compared to normal OS Veeder. It isn’t bad…just a bit soft compared to other good Napa cabs. Still very smooth…just not a lot of depth.

Fantastic wine. Agree with the Robert Parker write-up on this one. At this time, after about an hour or so the wine really starts to open up. I'm sure it will be amazing in another year or two.

I have 7 vintages of this wine. I found this one very good right now, but agree with comments that it will likely improve with time. However, I opened the bottle at least two and a half hours before dinner (no decant). That might explain why my experience seemed a little better that with other tasters over the last year.

Not ready at this time. Very good in the spirit of O'Shaughnessy. Hold onto it as they won't have a 2018 vintage bc of fires I believe. I had 1 Mt Veeder and 2 Howell Mountain. I will store the rest for a bit.

Napa trip November 2020; 10/31/2020-11/14/2020 (Napa, CA): Surprisingly more bright and open than I’ve experienced with the veeder which I typically prefer more aged. Grapes were harvested a little earlier than normal. Decanted about 1.5 hours.

Tasted at the winery soon after release, really accessible for a young Mt. Veeder for O'Shaughnessey in comparison to other recent vintages. Lovely purple in the glass as you swirl, fruit was forthcoming and mouth coating. Excited to get my shipment.

Boysenberry, hint of eucalyptus, forest floor. Chewy cassis and tannins. Works well with ribeye and on its own. Enjoy.

I think the wine needed more time. Disappointed in how it presented itself. Dull and mediocre and I know the wine is better than that.
