2007 Mayacamas Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon always blows me away. It s what California is capable of in my opinion. The #wine has this terrific tension between its parts...freshness in spades yet beautiful ripeness. Incredible depth of flavor yet silky texture. Old world charm/elegance and new world brashness. Blackcurrant and plum fruit playing against the backdrop of eucalyptus herbaceouness. This stuff is like a symphony in the glass. And at going on 10 years old, this is still a puppy. Glad to have 3 more left and one that I believe will truly reward 20+ years of cellaring. Stupendous. #redwine #usa #california #napa #mtveeder #napavalley #mayacamas #cabernetsauvignon

2008 Mayacamas Vineyards Merlot. Super young, super angry right out of the bottle and needs a lot of time to settle down. But when it begins to, it is chock full of juicy cherry, earth, green tobacco lead and bracing acidity. In the context of Napa Merlot, this is very different from the rest of the pack. This can age for many years, IMO, too. Lovely wine for the $29 I paid for it. #usa #merlot #california #napa #mayacamas #mountveeder #mtveeder
