Introduction: The unique terroir of the Mount Veeder produces wines that are typically powerful in structure, and the grapes for our signature 2019 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon are coming from the Meadowcroft vineyard located within 1200 feet elevation. The steep slopes, sedimentary clay and volcanic soils of this dry farmed vineyard is producing grapes with small berries and intensely concentrated mountain fruit flavors. A touch of Merlot balance the rich dark fruit and moderate tannins of our 2019 Mt.Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, adding a vibrancy to its lush mouthfeel and lingering dry finish with balanced acidity.
Winemaking: The grapes were handpicked at the middle of October, sorted and de-stemmed into small fermentation bins and allowed to cold soak for 3 days to help stabilize the color and enhance flavors. It was fermented for 18 days and punched down 3 times a day, with an additional 3 days extended maceration to increase extraction of colour and phenolic compounds. The wine is then gently pressed and aged on fine lees for 30 months in 100% French oak barrels with 50% new oak to preserve the delicate notes and mouthfeel. Only 4 barrels produced.
Tasting Notes: True to the Mount Veeder appellation, this 2019 Kukeri Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits dark concentrated fruit flavors of wild blueberries, black currants and cigar box and well-integrated fine-grained tannins with excellent lingering acidity. Big, bold with inky purple-black color, packed with black plumps, accented by exotic spices and earthy accents. A hint of forest, cedar, and dark roast espresso flavors also combine these aromatics to create this massively rich full-bodied mountain Cabernet Sauvignon finishing with epic length and beautifully lifted.
This wine it is a superb candidate for cellaring and should mature well over the next 10 years.
Enjoy with family and friends!
Cheers!
