Mayacamas, Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder, Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 Chardonnay 93 points Wine EnthusiastBase of neck or better 94 Vinous One of the more bombastic wines in this lineup, the 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon races across the palate with a rush of pure fruit and structure. The late harvest produced a rich, viscous Cabernet Sauvignon endowed with tremendous depth and plenty of raw, visceral energy. Readers need to be patient here, as the 1999 needs more time in bottle. I imagine it will always remain exuberant in style. 94+ (AG) 05 2014
