Mayacamas Mt. Veeder Red Blend 2022 no ups dried for months on racks

dried for months on racks in the ventilated loft above the family's house in Negrar before being crushed in the depths of winter

preferring to read what the vineyard actually needs each year

and the wine then spends seven years in large Slavonian oak casks before release

Mayacamas Mt. Veeder Red Blend 2022 no ups dried for months on racksAtop Mount Veeder, where fog cooled ridges shape complex reds, Mayacamas crafts Bordeaux inspired blends from vines planted in volcanic soils. This 2022 shows the estate's hallmark structure and aging potential, built on a foundation of ripe Cabernet with bright acidity and fine grained tannins. Layered with cassis, dark cherry, and mineral undertones, it invites discovery now while hinting at decades of cellar promise.
