Mt. Brave Mt. Veeder Cabernet Franc 2021

94 POINTS

Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

From a north-facing block, the 2021 Cabernet Franc Mt. Veeder features scents of tobacco and tomato leaf elements, plus blackberries and blueberries. It's full-bodied and firm but silky and ripe, with hints of licorice and drying tannins on the lingering finish. It's ultimately mouthwatering, which I take as a good sign that the tannins will be balanced in another few years.

The aromas of pure fruit such as blackberries are really impressive with hints of fresh pine needles. Iron. Sea shell. A refined and polished finish. Creamy at the end. Made from 100% cabernet franc. 328 cases produced. Needs two or three years.
