2012 O'Shaughnessy Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L)

“The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt Veeder is a gorgeous example of the vintage, and about as plush, sexy and polished as this mountain appellation gets. Coming from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers a sweet, opulent, hedonistic style to go with terrific notes of crème de cassis, spring flowers, Asian spices and hints of dried earth. Full-bodied, textured and certainly offering plenty of pleasure today, it will keep for two decades.” (08/2018)

“The fabulous 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder is another glorious example of mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, its opaque purple color is followed by a meaty, bloody, prime rib-like character intermixed with crème de cassis and floral notes. Deep, full-bodied, opulent and incredibly intense and pure, it is superb example of Cabernet Sauvignon from Mt. Veeder. (RP)” (10/2014)

“The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder sizzles with tension and Veeder character. Bright red-toned fruit, iron, mint, white pepper and tobacco all race across the palate. A wine of drive and tension, the 2012 is super-impressive in this tasting. Its 70-75% new oak is deftly handled. This is a terrific showing. (AG)” (05/2024)
