2019 Mount Veeder Reserve Red Blend Napa Valley

$125

The 2019 vintage of our estate-sourced, Bordeaux-inspired wine is aged 20 months in small 100% new oak barrels. The 2019 vintage saw significant rainfall early in the year (March–April). This was followed by a long, moderate summer that promoted smooth, even ripening straight through to harvest and led to average yields. The wonderful conditions of the season afforded the luxury of long hang time on the vine. The resulting wines are deep and intense in color, richly flavorful and with ripe tannins. Truly a harvest to remember.

Tasting Notes

A rich and mouth-coating texture with flavors of juicy black cherry, dried orange peel, dried herbs, graphite, red apple skin, and a
hint of vanilla. The long finish is complemented by bright acidity and soft, lingering, fine-grained tannins.

Aromas

Elevated aromatics of ripe red berries, sage, black plum, toast, gingerbread, and dark chocolate.
