Pulido-Walker 2023 Mt. Veeder Estate Vineyard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
8+ points - limited
Rare new Cabernet from one of Napa's newest cult wineries and winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown.
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. - Thomas Rivers Brown, Winemaker
Proprietors Mark Pulido & Donna Walker started Pulido-Walker in 2010 with single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from the Panek Vineyard in St. Helena and the Melanson Vineyard on Pritchard Hill. Their young estate vineyard on Mt. Veeder is hte newest addition to the lineup. Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown eschews technology and the manipulations that contribute to sameness. Rather than following a set schedule, his process is dictated by smell and taste. We place our faith in the raw material the vineyard provides and step aside to let the terroir speak.
