Mayacamas Merlot 2021

Mount Veeder, United States

Volcanic soils drive this mountain expression with authority. Black fruit and cedar meld with mineral undertones, while the Cabernet Franc component lends spice and backbone. Dense, chewy tannins need years to integrate. Built for the cellar. Hold until 2028.

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.
