Mayacamas Merlot 2022

Red
Mount Veeder, United States
7.8
WineSaint

Dried herbs and tobacco leaf dominate, with dark cherry and mineral notes threading through. The tannins show Mount Veeder's signature grip but in restrained form, making this surprisingly approachable for the appellation. Cedar and earth linger on a clean, focused finish. Classic Mayacamas elegance.

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.
