The tiny cuvee of 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder (132 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon) needs another 2-3 years of cellaring. It also will probably last 20-25 years, but will it achieve greatness or suppleness? With a dense purple color, notes of scorched earth, liquid minerals, black fruits, cedar, and licorice, this full-bodied, powerful, muscular wine has some tannin to shed, but it is loaded with extract and richness.

An immense style that's firmly tannic, offering a mix of herbal and cedary flavors. Hints of coffee, leather and tar commingle with earthy currant and sage notes. Definitely needs time. Best from 2003 through 2008. 86 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Napa / Mount Veeder Select to Add
