The growing season was highlighted by a cool spring and moderate summer temperatures. Cool temperatures during flowering resulted in significant shatter in the Cabernet Sauvignon. Shatter, in this case, resulted in loose clusters with small concentrated berries. While the yields were low, we are very happy with the quality. The Cabernet Sauvignon has great elegance and power. Ripe raspberry and sarsaparilla highlight the aromatics on the nose. Layered notes of dried lavender and wet slate highlight both vineyard site and winemaking style. On the palate, this wine's fresh acidity and gravelly minerality lead to great focus at the finish and compliment notes of fig, leather, and cacao. The Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from vineyard sites in the Mount Veeder Appellation. Grapes were harvested primarily from 20 to 30-year-old hillside vineyards. Mount Veeder is a one-of-a-kind appellation with a cooler mountain climate and some of the lowest yields in Napa Valley. Soils range from poor volcanic deposits to ancient seabeds; the grapes produced here retain high acidity and a lean, mineral character.
