Winemaker's Comments

This fine vintage is a prototypical Mayacamas Cabernet, briary in the nose with hints of cherry and raspberry that carry over into the mouth. Enjoyable now, particularly with an hour or more of breathing before service, it will grow in depth and complexity for many years, while still maintaining great richness of fruit.
