This 100% Cab is a huge wine, an appropriate ambassador from Mount Veeder. It’s old-fashioned in its dryness and hard tannins, so unlike today’s softly gushy cult Cabs, but that should enable it to age for a long time. Shows a heart of cedar-accented black currants, with exotic cigar box complexities. A serious cellar candidate. Best after 2010, and for many years.——S.H.(4/1/2009)—— 94
