Mt. Brave 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Mt. Brave /

The mountain appellation speaks loudly in this wine, contributing juicy blackberry, tar and leather, all within a forested context of wild truffle and crunchy leaves. Concentrated and robust in body and ripeness, it unwinds slowly in the glass, imparting jolts of black pepper as it goes.
