2019 Majuscule Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder

Back in stock!! We just received a case of the 2019 Majuscule Mt. Veeder Cabernet.  We sold out of this wine once before.  And since we last stocked it, this wine garnered a 95 point score from Wine Enthusiast!  This is indeed a world class wine.  It’s priced modestly at $105 while the prices for similar quality Mt. Veeder cabs run upwards of $180-$200 per bottle.

98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cab Franc. Aged 24 months in 60% new French oak. 14.5% alcohol. Only 144 cases made! The fruit for this wine is grown in the Wildcat Vineyard on Mt. Veeder, 2000 feet above the Napa Valley floor on Volcanic Rhyolite and some clay streats soils with patches of comressed volcanic ash.  The cooling marine influences of the San Francisco Bay and cool afternoon breezes result in daytime temperatures that are an average of 5 to 10 degrees lower than the valley floor, with slightly warmer nights as the cooler air sinks to lower elevations. This results in wines with concentrated flavors, well integrated tannins and balanced acid.

Aromas of milk chocolate covered strawberries, spices and subtle toasted oak jump from the glass.  The palate displays concentrated flavors of blackberry, cherry and cranberry with well-integrated tannins. The bright fruits are balanced by beautiful acidity and a hint of minerality.  Pair with prime rib, rack of lamb or a New York steak and enjoy!

95 points, Wine Enthusiast. "This tightly wrapped wine should open dramatically over time. It offers intense, concentrated blackberries, blueberries, graphite and iron flavors drenched in a high level of fine-grained tannins that give a good, gripping texture for pairing with fatty, rich foods. Best from 2027–2040."— Jim Gordon
