Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Red
Mount Veeder, United States

Blackberry and cassis meld with cedar, earth and baking spices on the nose. Mount Veeder's signature power shows through, though the tannins have softened into approachability. The palate carries violet, mocha and forest floor notes, finishing with good length if not the gripping intensity of the estate's finest years.

Mayacamas

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.
