Mt. Brave Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder 2015
Chris has a fascinating background -- here is a good article -- and he has quietly been making blockbuster, high-scoring, highly collectable wines for decades now. Mt. Brave is a relatively new project on Mount Veeder (it was once the Chateau Potelle Vineyard, for you old timers!) and it massively over-delivers in our book. If you know and love the wines of Lokoya, for example, get ready to be wildly impressed (and pay less). Huge concentration, ripe tannins, tons of power and mouthfilling richness. Hell, just read the Wine Advocate review below!!
"Full-bodied, concentrated and wonderfully expressive, the palate gives lovely ripe tannins and great freshness, finishing long and earthy." -Robert Parker
$479.70 a 6-PACK DELIVERED is a no-brainer buy if you love serious Napa Cabernet from one of the greats!
