The Story
The 2022 Mayacamas Mt. Veeder “Red Wine” (a Cabernet Sauvignon–driven Bordeaux-style blend) is richly perfumed and elegant, with a core of cherry, black plum and ripe cranberry framed by graphite, tobacco leaf, bay laurel and subtle underbrush notes. On the palate it is firm and focused, supported by fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a lingering saline‑tinged finish. For food pairings, lean toward grilled skirt steak or lamb chops with herb de Provence, mushroom‑infused beef Wellington, or cassoulet. It would also shine with aged hard cheeses (e.g. Comté or aged Gouda) or a savory mushroom risotto.
