The Story
Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder Magnum 2019 is an iconic collector-worthy Napa Valley mountain Cabernet from one of California’s most legendary historic estates. Sourced from the rugged high-elevation vineyards of Mt. Veeder, this age-worthy Cabernet reflects Mayacamas’ unmistakable old-school restrained style rather than overt ripeness. The 2019 vintage reveals profound layers of blackcurrant, cassis, dark cherry, graphite, cedar, crushed herbs, tobacco leaf, forest floor, and striking mineral tension. Full-bodied yet impeccably structured, with firm mountain tannins, vibrant acidity, and extraordinary longevity, this is a serious cellar-worthy Napa Cabernet presented in impressive magnum format for optimal aging.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with dry-aged ribeye, herb-crusted lamb, venison, braised beef short ribs, aged gouda, truffle mushroom dishes, roast duck, and refined steakhouse cuisine.
96 Points - Wine Spectator
Loaded with character and energy, this version reveals heavy notes of zesty sweet bay leaf and sassafras that infuse a core of steeped red currant and mulberry fruit, all carried by bright acidity and iron-laced tannins. The long finish pulls everything together, with the fruit, savory and mineral elements in harmony. Showing an old-school touch, this has a long life ahead. Best from 2025 through 2045. 4,000 cases made.
95 Points - James Suckling
Seductive aromas of dark cherries, mulberries, spiced plums, wild herbs and dried spices. Medium to full body with finely grained tannins. Textural and suave with a voluptuous array of berries, cherries and raw cocoa on the palate. Velvety and well-balanced with a focused developing finish. Drink or hold.
