The 2016 is Utterly Magnificent
- Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
"One of the most iconic estates of Napa Valley⦠For six decades Bob Travers made some of the most compelling, age worthy and profound Napa Valley wines at Mayacamas. These magnificent Cabernet Sauvignons capture an artisan spirit from a long-gone era in Napa Valley that is only now being rediscovered and fully appreciated for what it is: one of the richest legacies in Napa Valley, the United States and the world." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
"Mayacamas Vineyards is legendary... it's reputation for producing amazingly complex, long-lived wines is well-deserved... Mayacamas Cabernets are deeply colored, enormously rich and concentrated wines... hese wines live up to their billing. The rewards of cellaring can be awesome. Mayacamas Cabernets are as rich, complex, and structured as any produced in California." - James Laube, Wine Spectator
2016 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon
99 VM / 96 WS
#4 Wine Spectator Top 100 2020
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is every bit as monumental as it was from barrel last year. Rich, deep and powerful, the 2016 is endowed with tremendous fruit concentration and all of the structure to back it up. Wild, savory and super-expressive from the very first taste, the 2016 is utterly magnificent. Wild cherry, grilled herbs, new leather, licorice and mocha infuse the 2016 with tremendous brooding power. The 2016 represents a striking, contemporary expression. All the Mayacamas signatures are there, but with just an extra kick of finesse that makes the 2016 a Cabernet of total allure. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
This distinctive red throws a lot of wild sage, herb and sassafras notes out first, while the core of intense red currant, damson plum and bitter cherry fruit waits its turn. The vibrant structure is built on acidity, pulling everything together through the iron-streaked finish. Should age wonderfully. Best from 2022 through 2040. 1,600 cases made. â JM, Wine Spectator
