Mayacamas Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Veeder, USA 2019 1.5L Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Structured and denseThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a pretty rich, bombastic wine, especially for Mayacamas. A blast of dark fruit, incense, tobacco, licorice, spice and mocha hits the palate. I would give the 2019 at least a few years in bottle to settle down, as it is quite the powerhouse today. This is an unusually flamboyant wine with plenty of richness and a bit less in the way of subtlety. The opulence of the vintage comes through loud and clear. 97 Pts Vinous
