2019 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley’s Mount Veeder is a classically styled, mountain-grown wine that opens with floral aromas of lilac, dried sage, and graphite, followed by layers of dark cherry, blackberry, cassis, and hints of eucalyptus and cedar. On the palate, it offers vibrant flavors of wild blueberry, maraschino cherry, and dark cocoa, supported by crisp acidity and fine-grained tannins that give it a lean, elegant structure. The finish is long and dusty, with peppery and mineral notes, making it a wine with excellent aging potential over the next 10–20 years.

About Winery

Founded in 1889, Mayacamas stands as one of the most storied vineyard and winery operations in the history of American wine. Through its more than 125 years of production, Mayacamas has earned its place as a standard-bearer of traditional winemaking, and the source of some of California’s most iconic and longest-lived bottles.

Named for mountain range that divide the Napa and Sonoma valleys, the old stone winery was dug into the side of a dormant volcano crater in 1889 and has remained in production ever since. For generations, methods and tools have been passed from owner to owner, and the Mayacamas style has remained remarkably consistent.

As the newest owners in a lineage of pioneering caretakers spanning numerous generations, we faithfully steward Mayacamas towards a bright future, ever mindful of the great traditions of the past. Since 2013, our team has worked tirelessly to restore all aspects of the Mayacamas operation, ensuring continued success for this unique American story.
