Mayacamas Vineyards

86 PTS WILFRED WONG. Crisp, lively, and tart; the pleasing Mayacamas Sauvignon Blanc is a bright wine of fine integrity; enjoy wine with linguine in a white clam sauce.

The Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon captures the spirit of Napa Valley mountain Cabernet Sauvignon - rugged tannins, aromatic complexity, and pure varietal expression.

Dense and a little chewy, with well focused fruit flavors of currant, cedar, black cherry, and hints of chocolate. A small crop produced deep, rich fruit flavors.

Delicious now, the 1995 Cabernet will benefit from some breathing time before serving. Its minty, cherry like character is glorious with BBQ dishes of all sorts.

Fairly dense wine with a noticable amount of sweet oak; this full-flavored Chardonnay exhibits excellent depth and richness on the palate and finish.

Typical Mayacamas! Much richer and more intense than most Merlot, this '97 is enthusiastically fruity. A wine built to last, this wine is ready to enjoy tonight with robust food!

Dense and ultra big, the powerful Mayacamas Pinot Noir is a throw back to the past; excellent in its own style, this is one Pinot that goes well with barbecues.
