Lokoya, Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon other_regionsVery deep garnet black, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder slowly unfurls to reveal blackcurrant cordial, chocolate covered cherries and black licorice with nuances of unsmoked cigars, star anise, spice cake and chargrill. Full bodied, the palate is full on seductive with ripe, plush tannins and tons of concentrated, expressive black fruit preserves, finishing on a long lingering licorice note. 952 cases were made.

As one would reasonably expect

Here there is better wood integration framing the pretty and ripe blend of both red and black fruit that displays a subtle animale character as well as notes of underbrush

full-bodied and with very silky tannins

This is a dazzling effort

warm earth and violets

Deep purple-black in color

age it a few more years for additional nuance

(from 60+ year old vines and the vineyard is a whopping 4 ha monopole within Perrières)

focused and penetrating finish

Chardonnay is from Cramant

challenged maybe

almost exotic
