Long and elegant yet very tightly wound

with notes of ripe white fruits

having been assembled and racked once

The net effect of the cooling trend created a looser cluster and some millerandage or “hens and chicks

2009 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon 3 L for 10 months of aging93 points Decanter: "A vintage that shows the restrained and sometimes hidden power of Mount Veeder Cabernet. The nose is initially reticent and understated, giving off subtle notes of blackberry and espresso, but after time in the glass it opens up to reveal a vibrant, gritty core. Beautiful and classically Mayacamas in style, but built to go the distance. You can drink it now, but best left for at least another five years. (ML)" (03 2020) Jancis
