Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Red
Mount Veeder, United States
8.0

Raw mountain fruit explodes with blackberry intensity and graphite minerality. The tannins grip hard, almost savage in their youth, while dark chocolate and cedar notes emerge slowly. Built like a fortress. This needs a decade to show its true character.

Mayacamas has made Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay on the volcanic ridges of Mount Veeder since 1941, producing some of Napa's most age-worthy, high-altitude wines with a deliberately unfashionable restraint.
