Mayacamas, Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder, Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 GERMANY I have wondered how itBase 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
