Mayacamas 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder

Napa Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 98 Rating
The finest vintage of this cuvée I’ve tasted, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is going to be one of the Legendary Mayacamas, although a more modern-day version. Sporting a vivid ruby, mostly opaque hue as well as sensational aromatics of crème de cassis, ripe cherries, graphite, crayon, and cedar pencils, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, flawless overall balance, ultra-fine, ripe, perfect tannins, and a great finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. The balance, purity, and elegance paired with the subtle, inward richness and power is something. I followed this bottle for multiple days, and it was never short of spectacular, with its structure and tannins becoming more evident with air. It’s far from the tannic beast that some vintages from this higher elevation terroir on Mount Veeder can be, and it clearly offers immense pleasure even today. Yet, it probably won’t hit true prime time for another decade, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this be a 50- to 60-year wine. Bravo. Drink 2030-2080. R17-3
