Mayacamas SUNSET Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Mayacamas SUNSET Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, crafted by Winemaker Braiden Albrecht, is a testament to the distinctive terroir of the Mayacamas Estate. Sourced from the Sunset Block, a newer parcel, this wine exhibits unparalleled intensity and nuance. The hand-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon, grown organically on the rugged mountain slopes, undergoes meticulous winemaking processes. Fermentation in concrete and stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in various oak cooperages for 36 months, results in a wine of remarkable complexity.

Pouring into the glass, the Sunset Cabernet reveals a deep, garnet color. The aroma is a symphony of dark fruits, with notes of damson plum, cherry, and cassis, complemented by hints of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is tightly coiled, displaying the signature iron note characteristic of Mayacamas. The vibrant hum of red fruit, sage, and pencil shavings creates an expressive and lengthy experience. This sleek and elegant wine, with its precise finish, demands patience and promises rewards for those who cellar it. Critical acclaim, including a stellar 98 points from Vinous, underscores the exceptional quality and allure of Mayacamas SUNSET Cabernet Sauvignon 2018.
