Cabernet Sauvignon, 1979 Mount Veeder Winery, Bernstein Vyd., Mt. Veeder-Napa County

What a pleasant surprise. Brilliant ruby, just translucent with just a touch of orange. Smooth, elegant bouquet with hints of cherry, vanilla and a hint of earth and cabernet mint. Round, smooth and exceptionally elegant on the palate. The sour cherry fruit is still bright and fresh and the tannins are now perfectly integrated into the wine. The finish is long with a wonderful dusty/cherry flavor. Really a lovely bottle.
