Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Red
Mount Veeder, United States

Cassis, espresso and crushed granite drive this mountain Cabernet with impressive density. The tannins remain formidable at thirteen years, wrapping around a core of blackberry liqueur and tobacco leaf. Still youthful and demanding. Needs several more years to show its true character.

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.
