2023 Thread Feathers Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Veeder, Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points
Varietally and regionally on-target, this is a fine Mount Veeder Cabernet at a great price. The nose is centered on dark sour cherry, pomegranate syrup, black raspberry, clove, licorice root, dried sage and mineral scents. On the palate it is fully ripe, youthfully tannic and attractively bright, while notes of hibiscus syrup add another layer of spice to the lingering medley promised in the nose. Delicious now, it will become more sophisticated and softer over the next two years.
