2019 Mayacamas Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder

(96 points) 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. *Collectible* (JM) (10/2023)  Wine Spectator
