Vintage Notes

The 2021 vintage started off under drought conditions with very little rain. This led to a lower yield of grapes requiring less pruning and green harvest. A smooth and fairly uneventful Summer gave us small berries packed full of flavor and great structure. This should be a great vintage for those looking to lay the wines down a little longer.

DECANTER
Conn Creek's 2021 Mt. Veeder is one complex, nuanced, and focused Cabernet, showing all its mountain power backed by layers of flavors and nuance. It has incredible upfront appeal in its super fragrant floral-scented blackberry and black cherry fruit, and elegant cedarwood tinged with baking spices. Impressive depth of concentration on the palate with elonged, silky tannins that are perfectly smooth and deftly integrated, allowing for a serious depth of black fruits, creme de cassis, tobacco leaf, and a very appealing thread of ironstone minerality, earth, and wild herbs, all of which lingers a full 60 seconds.
