2004 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder

The dense purple-colored 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder exhibits a meaty, sweet nose of blue and black fruits as well as bouquet garni followed by a wine with full-bodied opulence, velvety tannins and a heady, long finish. It separates itself from the pack with a finish that lasts nearly a minute. It is an extraordinary effort as well as a brilliant example of Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink it over the next 20 years. Betty O’Shaughnessy is one of my favorite producers. While the quantities of her wines are relatively small, the quality has been brilliant over the last decade. Tel.
