Mayacamas Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Review
This wine continues to floor us vintage after vintage. It offers the powerful tannic frame of a Cab, while maintaining restraint and elegance. The fruit has depth but still shows brightness. The palate is somewhat weighty but with a perfect harmony between all of the major elements. It has more tannin than the 2019 vintage, but is just as wonderful — a perfect representation of the legacy of Napa and especially the high-elevation vineyards of Mount Veeder.
