Note di degustazione
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate opens with an expressive, elegant nose of redcurrants, dried flowers, bramble and cigar box. The palate is deft and charming, with sappy concentration and a svelte, seamless texture. The tannins are markedly soft and inviting, laced with a succulent, quenching acidity. The Mount Eden Cabernets take a noticeable turn toward complexity and maturity as they approach their 10th birthday and, in this case, compounded by the vintage's overall deft and understated nature.

One of the finest vintages of this cuvée I’ve tasted, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a thrill a minute with its fabulous bouquet of crème de cassis, charcoal embers, spice, and subtle vanilla oak aromas and flavors. Possessing medium to full body, an incredibly layered, seamless texture, moderate acidity, and present, ripe tannins, it has some upfront charm given its purity of fruit and texture, but deserves 3-4 years of bottle age and is going to keep for two decades. This beauty rivals Ridge’s Monte Bello and is an incredible example of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in this mountain terroir.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Racy and linear in the glass, the 2014 is superb from start to finish. The 2014 is remarkably fresh considering the brutal drought conditions of the year. Bright floral notes, red-toned fruit and fine yet insistent tannins are some of the signatures in this super-expressive Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet. Vivid and chiseled in style, the 2014 will drink well for several decades. I loved it.
