Pulido-Walker 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon, Mt Veeder Estate

A plentiful yield and larger berries can require extra effort in the cellar to achieve optimal extraction, but that was not the case in 2023. The fruit was so fully developed, extraction was effortless. From the very first taste, it was clear: this vintage is something special. The wine opens with floral and tobacco nuances accented by savory notes of bay leaf and a pleasing smokiness. Blue-fruited and juicy, it showcases all the signature elements we love about Mt. Veeder yet free from the angular tannins sometimes associated with this rugged AVA.

The result is a wine of exceptional balance, where vibrant acidity, layered concentration, and mountain-grown elegance come together seamlessly. Polished, expressive, and true to its site, the 2023 Pulido~Walker Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon offers both immediate appeal and long-term promise. It’s a wine that will captivate today and reward a decade from now—a truly memorable vintage.
