2012 Mount Veeder Reserve Red Blend Napa Valley Etched 3L

3L is equivalent to 4 standard-size 750mL bottles of wine. Perfect for sharing with friends or family, hosting a dinner party, or gifting.  This 3 Liter bottle features an etched and hand-painted label directly on the glass. Deep ruby color with wonderfully rich, ripe berries and summer cherry pie on the nose, complemented by hints of earth, cedar, rosemary, and dried sage. A supple, well-structured palate that’s full, almost juicy, with a slightly mineral edge. Dark cassis fruit layers with bright blackberry, building complexity with layers of mocha and peppercorn. The wine is dry but finishes with a lovely, delicate sweetness derived from its fruit character and 20 months in fine oak barrels. 94 Points & Highly Recommended, Wine SpectatorThis displays a pure core of black cherry, cassis and plum puree flavors before the back end clamps down, revealing grippy tar and apple wood notes. Shows freshness and drive, with a pervasive sagebrush detail.  — James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
