2019 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon Mt Veeder Napa Valley California USA

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect example of what Mayacamas produces: fresh, clean and classy wines from the peak of Mt. Veeder. All aspects of this fall perfectly into place, while showcasing true elegance. This is a great reminder of the classic days of the Napa Valley, when producers prided themselves on crafting wines with elegance, balance and finesse before the big, bold influence of Robert Parker. The flavour profile here is somewhat Bordeaux-esque in style, not overly intense, and full of high-quality dark red fruit on the palate. The tannins are very well-integrated, and there’s a great vibrancy on the finish.
