Mayacamas Merlot 2018

Red
Mount Veeder, United States
8.0
WineSaint

Dark cherry and wild herbs show Mount Veeder's wild side immediately. The Cabernet Franc component brings structure and savory complexity to what could be simple fruit. Medium-bodied with surprising depth, revealing layers of cedar and dried spice as it opens. Polished tannins soften the mountain edge beautifully.

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.
