winemaker's notes:

A feat of complexity, perfumed and profound, the 2006 Mount Veeder Reserve presents layer upon layer of wild mountain berry, plum, and forest floor aromas wrapped in notes of sage, mocha, clove, and bay. Romantic and brooding on the nose, with hints of cassis and violets, this Reserve brings a lush, bold mouthfeel with further notes of vanilla and dark chocolate on the palate. The full-bodied, integrated tannins lend robust structure that extends into a lengthy, infinitely expressive finish.

Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc

alcohol by volume: 14.5%

critical acclaim:

"A big, big wine, showing hard mountain tannins and extraordinary concentration of fruit. Made from a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend of the five classic Bordeaux varieties, it's massive in blackberry, cherry, creme de cassis, mineral and smoky oak flavors that finish dry and long. A serious cellar contender, it should start to come into its own after 2014."

rating (1/5/2013):

Enjoyable but just above average. I expected much more from this wine. Very tannic on first pour. nice nose but fades after 3rd pour on third day. Didn't hold up so well over 5 days under vacuum. best consumed and decanted in one pouring. Needs some air. I wouldn't buy this vintage again at this price.. I will be tasting the 2007 soon.
