James Suckling Review
Rated 95
Plenty of blueberry and chocolate aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied with round, fresh tannins. Lot of blue fruit and walnuts. Then crushed stones with the fruit at the finish. Flavorful, yet not overdone. Give this four or five years to come around. Try after 2025.

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 92+
A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color. The nose absolutely sings of warm blackcurrants, black cherries and mulberries plus fragrant suggestions of chocolate box, lilacs and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with energetic, crunchy black fruit flavors, framed by ripe, fine-grained tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. What a bargain price for this classic Napa Cab beauty!

Wine Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in color with intense dark fruit aromas of ripe black cherry, black currant and plum interlaced with complex notes of sweet herbs, clove, vanilla, dark chocolate, and toasty oak. Blackberry, cocoa, and black peppercorn unite on the layered palate with complex notes dark berry and cassis with highlights of bay, anise and mocha. Full yet elegant on the palate, this red wine Cabernet Sauvignon is filled with vibrant fruit and very approachable tannins with hints of nutmeg and vanilla bean add to the long persistent finish.

    Similar Napa Cabs cost way more than this!

    For the price the Mt Veeder Cabernet can not be beat. It's fruit forward without being over bearing. Finishes nice with an oaky nose.

    Great wine at an insane price

    Pretty remarkable Napa Valley Cabernet at a great price. After letting it decant for a bit it paired very well with a filet mignon steak.
