Mayacamas Merlot 2021

Powerful and structured, the 2021 Merlot shows Mount Veeder's volcanic intensity in bold relief. Dense tannins frame a core of dark fruit, graphite and mocha, with floral notes emerging over time. The Cabernet Franc component adds backbone and spice to the blend. This is serious mountain Merlot that demands patience—don't even think about opening a bottle before 2028.
