2016 Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon
11/8/2020 - winestlouis Likes this wine: 93 Points
Red, garnet and clear. Nose: rose, dried cherry, touch of mocha, light cedar. Palate: med plus body, great mouth feel, dark fruit, vanilla, moderate oak, great acid, a lot of backbone and tannin that grabs the palate. Balanced and Well done. I mean for 35 bucks, you get a lot in the glass. I will be grabbing several for the cellar. Will drink amazing in 3+ years.Great value for any area much less Napa.

2012 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Weitz Vineyard
11/6/2020 - winestlouis Likes this wine: 95 Points
Warm and inviting deep red and purple. Absolutely glass staining after 8 years. Nose is bright fruit still, red fruits. Something about the nose is not my favorite, but not offensive or flawed. On the palate: lots of good acidity in here, med plus body, medium tannins linger and provide plenty of texture, super well balanced wine. Some dark fruit, plum, not over extracted. This can go several more years but is a blast to enjoy now.

2007 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
10/23/2020 - winestlouis Likes this wine: 90 Points
Good deep garnet color still. Deep red, not much brick or purple. Nice nose of cassis, dry cherry, crushed dried rose petals. Med body, med minus acid, dark fruit, some oak, plenty of tannin left. I suspect this has gotten better the last 13 years. A nice surprise and a wine that has aged well. Drinks great and not over the hill.
