Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon is a classically structured, mountain-grown red that leans into the appellation's signature austerity — firm, gripping tannins and earthy blackcurrant and graphite character set it apart from the richer, more opulent valley-floor style. The elevation and thin volcanic soils yield a leaner, more angular frame with good natural acidity that supports age-worthiness. It's a serious, food-friendly Cabernet that rewards patience and pairs beautifully with red meat and bold flavors.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
