PULIDO WALKER CABERNET SAUVIGNON MT VEEDER ESTATE VINEYARD NAPA VALLEY 2019
$98.69
The Pulido~Walker Mt. Veeder Estate Vineyard is meticulously planted, drawing on several years of data collection prior to putting a single vine or rootstock in the ground. It has been quite the voyage of discovery shepherding this wine from the initial planting of clones 15, 30, 169, and 685 to the release of this inaugural vintage. We decided to harvest by clone and ferment the four wine lots individually. It was unanimous: the lots from clones 15 and 685 were standouts.
As we’ve come to expect, this wine is more black-fruited, with blue and
purple elements but no red fruit qualities to speak of. Its structure and finesse
make this a Cabernet Sauvignon to lay down for a few years while the tannins
smooth out. We think five years should be plenty to soften everything and reward
the patient with a seamless, nuanced and savory Pulido~Walker Mt.Veeder
Estate offering that may be our finest yet.
