2014 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. Dark garnet in color with aromas of dense black currant, black peppercorn, and cardamom. Notes of molasses and flint lend a very deep and complex aroma. Hints of bay leaf and honey linger in the glass. A bursting palate, with a big mouthfeel and structure, stuffed with dark cherry and plum. Hazelnut and anise, with hints of sage, all add to the richness and layered complexity of this wine. Big in stature, yet supple. A powerfully flavorful wine with grace and restraint, it finishes long with black currant and savory notes. 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast…a burly red wine with impressive structure and presence. Tangy red fruit, recalling cranberry and currant, is spiced with clove, mountain sage, bay leaf and molasses notes.  —Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, December 20
