Anthem Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder 2018 750 ML Ludwigs POS

95 points Wine Enthusiast: “Structured, with grip and length, this wine is ripe and rich in style with tremendous tannins. Chalky in texture, it provides layers of cassis, vanilla and clove, with the mountain appellation’s signature earthiness and herbal underrates. *Cellar Selection* (VB)” (10/2022)

94 points Wine Spectator: “Richly fruity, with a deep well of boysenberry, fig and blackberry compote notes that won’t quit, pumping along while licorice, fruitcake and ganache notes fill in. This has a roasted apple wood frame and a late tug of cast iron, which keep it all grounded. (JM)” (05/2022)

94 points International Wine Review: “The 2018 Anthem Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon begins with lovely aromas of dark cherries and black raspberries, which are woven together with graphite, spices, florals and earthy soil nuances which round out the nose. On the palate this possesses a wonderful plush, velvety texture with notable overall balance. Flavors of dark cherries and spices all continue to build and leave a lasting impression on the finish. While this is already showing plenty of appeal, it also has the potential to thrive in the cellar over the next decade.” (10/2021)

92 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “From the estate vineyard on Mount Veeder, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is marked by dark, plummy fruit and scents of loamy earth, cedar and mocha. Full-bodied, richly textured and concentrated, it’s clearly a mountain wine—tannic, rugged and muscular on the finish. Give it a few years in the cellar before pulling a cork. (JC) 92+” (05/2022)
