Winemakers Comments
The 1990 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon is still a very dark purple, indicating freshness and vigor. Its ripe fruit nose seems to contain many elements. This diversity carries over into the mouth, and the wine has a complex, lingering finish with the Cabernet grape structure clearly evident. It is highly enjoyable now and will remain so for at least another decade.
