2006 Mount Veeder Cab Franc - Wine Review

The wine rating tonight is for the '06 Mount Veeder Cab Franc.  Not generally a big fan of these varieties but in the vineyard tasting it wasn't half bad.  Maybe because the tasting cost $20.

Bottle cost at the vineyard was $45.  Now you say, wow was it that good and the answer is no it was just ok. We had this bottle with a blackened Talapia dinner.  The wine was pretty dry and strong (not usually a bad thing).  I generally mark our bottles, where we get them, cost, date and when we tasted.  I was quickly reminded it was not our normal under $20 bottle of wine.  It did go well with the fish and definitely brought out the blackened and spicy fish but was just a little too much for our taste.

Definitely a good wine, but only if you can find it at your local wine seller for under $20.  Otherwise I would pass on it.

The vineyard and tasting room were very nice and definitely should be a stopping point when you are in Napa.  The website is below.
