I also loved the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder Estate Vineyard, a perfumed, blue-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon offering classic Mt. Veeder sappy herb, spring flower, sage, and scrub brush-like aromas and flavors. With medium to full-bodied richness, a ripe, layered mouthfeel, and plenty of tannins, it's a classic mountain wine that deserves 4-6 years in the cellar.
From vines planted in just 2015, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder Estate Vineyard showcases floral and herbal nuances of sage and bay leaf over a bed of ripe cherries. In the mouth, despite being full-bodied, the wine is a bit taut, accentuating the silky tannins, and finishes long and mouthwatering..While the Pulido-Walker estate vineyard is on Mount Veeder, the wines are now made at Mending Wall Winery, a facility Mark Pulido and Donna Walker co-own with winemaking consultant Thomas Rivers Brown and former Outpost proprietor Frank Dotzler. The focus is on Cabernets from three single vineyards: Mt. Veeder, Policy (Yountville) and Melanson (Pritchard Hill)
