Product details
The Mayacamas Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2020 is a testament to the enduring legacy of Mayacamas Vineyards, a historic estate established in 1889. Nestled within the rugged terrain of the Mt. Veeder AVA, Mayacamas has long been celebrated for its commitment to traditional winemaking practices that emphasize elegance and longevity over opulence. The estate's vineyards, situated at elevations ranging from 1,800 to 2,200 feet, are characterized by diverse soil profiles—including compressed volcanic ash and gravelly loam—that contribute to the unique expression of their wines. Since 2013, these vineyards have been farmed organically, reflecting the winery's dedication to sustainable viticulture.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the quintessential characteristics of mountain-grown fruit. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of black fruit intertwined with notes of cloves, leather, menthol, chocolate, and dried herbs. The palate is dense and potent, offering layers of rich flavors that reflect the wine's robust structure and aging potential. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes such as grilled ribeye steak, rosemary-infused lamb chops, or aged cheddar cheese, each complementing the wine's depth and complexity.
