Rubissow-Sargent 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- Cellar Selection
- $75
Smells beautiful, with a nuanced perfume of rich cassis, black cherry and new smoky oak and vanilla. But be warned, the tannins are potent. They grip the palate and fundamentally close it down. Absolutely requires further cellaring. Drink 2010-2020.

Rubissow-Sargent 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- $35
The ’02 is better than the ’03, a ripe, deeply flavored young Cab. Well-oaked, it shows wild blackberry flavors, and finishes dry. Best now–2010.

Rubissow-Sargent 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- $30
Still hard and tough in tannins, but that’s Mount Veeder. Tastes like it was just bottled. Bigtime blackberry and cherry fruit is buried deep. Hold until 2008 and try again.

Rubissow-Sargent 2003 Merlot (Mount Veeder)
- $32
This is a superripe young wine, brimming with cherry, cocoa, tobacco and oak flavors, with a slightly raisiny finish. The tannins are soft and yielding, but there’s a good bite of acidity for balance. Drink now.

Rubissow-Sargent 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- $42
You’ll want to decant this for a few hours to let it breathe, because it’s tight, but it’s not an ager. Shows bone-dry jammy, sweet and sour cherry and tangerine flavors, wrapped into sturdy mountain tannins.

Rubissow-Sargent 2003 Trompettes Red (Mount Veeder)
- $45
Bone dry and sharp in acids, this is a blend of Cab Franc and Merlot. Lighter in body, with cherry and oak flavors. It’s a gamble if it will soften with age.
