2016 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 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.
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 Spectator
This 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, June 30, 2020
