Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 is a mature red wine from the esteemed Mount Veeder region of Napa Valley. Known for its high-altitude vineyards and volcanic soils, the estate employs traditional winemaking techniques to express a cool-climate style. The palate features notes of blackcurrant, bay leaf and cedar, showcasing a blend of herbaceous and earthy elements. The magnum format allows for a slow evolution, enhancing its potential for longevity and complexity as it matures.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the truly exceptional wines of the vintage. As I worked through this series of retrospective tastings, I had hoped to find at least one wine like this. A truly epic 2011. When I tasted the Mayacamas Cabernet, I knew I had found it. Deep, potent and massively constituted, the 2011 possesses tremendous richness and pure power, all within the classical framework that is such a Mayacamas signature. Dark fruit, lavender crushed rocks, menthol and sage build as this explosive Cabernet shows off its pedigree. The 2011 is the last vintage Bob Travers made at Mayacamas (although it was blended and bottled by the current team). It is very clearly one of the wines of this challenging and misunderstood vintage, as well as a fitting testament to his legacy. Harvest stretched into late October and early November.
