2000 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignonproduct-Pdf - Napa Valley - Aged to Perfection Why We're Drinking It This Celebrated Cab Producer Is One of Napa’S Finest 2000 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignonproduct-pdf - Napa Valley - Aged to Perfection Why We're Drinking It This celebrated Cab producer is one of Napa’s finest. The winery? Classic. Legendary. Extraordinary. The wine? Elegant. Complex. Structured. We’re talking Mayacamas and its world-class vintages. This 2000 Cab is one of the reasons Charles and Ali Banks (previously of Screaming Eagle) decided to buy Mayacamas in 2013. They’ve seen the power these Cabs produce while still pulling off the reputation as some of California’s most graceful wines. Reasons why we love it Classic Napa Cab vines. Planted by winegrowing visionaries, Jack and Mary Taylor, the property’s Cabernet Sauvignon started their journey in 1941. Sitting near the summit of Mount Veeder, these vines are California classics like no other. The highly-regarded Cab may not have debuted until the 1940s, but the winery was built in 1889 and its history of owners has done the property proud over and over again making its soaring reputation well-earned and well-deserved. Proven cellaring potential. These grapes were harvested from Mayacamas’ exclusive, high-elevation Mount Veeder site known for the lowest yields in Napa Valley and a very cool mountain climate. If you need proof of the wine’s ageability, you can look back many many years. The 1971 Cabernet Sauvignon was entered in the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting and while it didn’t place then, it took second in the 2006 anniversary tasting. This easily makes it one of the most age-worthy wines in the Valley! More Cab to love. James Laube of Wine Spectator speaks of Mayacamas Cabs as “amazingly complex, long-lived wines...deeply colored, enormously rich and concentrated” and the “rewards of cellaring can be awesome.” As we celebrate this winery that helped place California wines on the list of the world’s finest, we also cheers their steadfast winemaking approach that is so consistently their foundation of distinct and intense flavors built for decades of improvement. Tasting Notes Mayacamas' 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon has a definite briary component to VARIETAL the aroma and flavor, as is often the case with their Cabernets, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon when they are young. A soft and slightly earthy character in the finish. APPELLATION Napa Valley "The mountain terroir at Mayacamas Vineyards, ranging from 1,800 to ALCOHOL 2,400 feet above sea level, provides our grapes with their distinctive, 14.00 intense flavors. Mount Veeder is a volcanic peak, and the soils on the SIZE mountain are complex; they include ash, tufa, sedimentary soils, and lava. 750ml Many of the slopes are steep, requiring vineyard terraces." - Mayacamas BLEND website 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc *invino maintains excellent cellaring conditions, and strives to sell every bottle in pristine condition. As is standard industry practice, any wine purchased over seven vintage years old, is sold "as is" and may not be returned for any reason. The Story to Know From the winery: High on the slopes of Mount Veeder, Mayacamas Vineyards has been a source of legendary California wine since 1889. As the newest owners in a lineage of pioneering caretakers spanning 125 years, we faithfully steward Mayacamas toward a bright future, ever mindful of the great traditions of the past. The mountain terroir at Mayacamas ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 feet in elevation and the estate spans 475 acres, only 50 of which are dedicated to vine. Our rugged location near the summit of Mt. Veeder greatly informs the profile of our wines. In this appellation – which stretches for 13 miles along the Mayacamas mountain range on Napa Valley’s western edge – the slopes are steep, the soils meager, and the viticulture challenging. Our property’s complex soils range from volcanic ash to shy-bearing igneous rock, and produce notoriously low yields of intensely concentrated grapes. To ensure a bright future for our estate, we proudly introduced organic farming in 2013 and continue the laborious but important work of dry-farming our vineyards whenever possible. We feel strongly that our vineyards, our wilderness, and our neighbors benefit from this more considerate approach to the overall ecosystem. The history of Mayacamas is long, but most importantly, is still being written. Our team strives each day to connect the past, present, and future through our work – a commitment to the most important traditions, methods, and tools of previous generations is central to our path forward as winemakers. In 1889 John Henry Fisher purchased this rugged mountain land and built the winery we still use today from stones gathered around the property. He began a winemaking tradition that has been carried forward by generations of families – Taylor, Travers, and our team to name a few – all sharing a distinct love for this remote place. This historic winery space, as well as two others constructed in later decades, were gently restored in 2013 and provide a considered environment that allows for an enhanced level of quality and consistency in our wines. We believe strongly that our careful investment in Mayacamas is already starting to yield the finest wines the property has produced to date. Perfect Pairings Ratings Reviews.

Antonio Galloni to the character of these wines. The mountain terroir at Mayacamas ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 feet in elevation and the estate spans 475 acres, only 50 of which are dedicated to vine. TASTING NOTES & WINEMAKING The 2017 vintage of Mayacamas Chardonnay — our team's fifth — showcases both site and vintage beautifully. Aromas of ripe lemon honeysuckle and crushed oyster shell highlight the nose. On the palate, the wine has the classic Mayacamas acidity and is framed nicely by the textural richness in the mid-palate that comes from a warm vintage. Harvested early to retain natural acidity, the grapes were sorted by hand and pressed whole cluster. Alcoholic fermentation was completed in a combination of small barrels (5% new), large format puncheon and stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation was blocked. The wine was aged on the lees for seven months, then twelve months of aging in barrel and an additional six months of aging was done in stainless steel prior to a winter bottling. - VINTAGE, VINEYARDS & TERROIR The 2017 growing season began with significant rainfall in the start of the year followed by mild spring temperatures during bud break and flowering, and ending with intense heat waves.

The mountain terroir at Mayacamas ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 feet in elevation and the estate spans 475 acres, only 50 of which are dedicated to vine. The region’s richly intense, age-worthy wines reflect the independent spirit of its mountain growers and vintners, borne of rugged conditions that demand craftsmanship at the highest level. TASTING NOTES & WINEMAKING At 11 years old the 2009 Chardonnay is open, accessible, and delicious. Its bright golden appearance suggests age, concentration, and power. The wine opens with an aromatic combination of lemon curd, bee pollen, and sunflower oil. Dried thyme and parsley offer a savory thread that weaves nuance and complexity. On the palate the wine expands, broadening the frame and accentuating flavors of lemon oil, almond, and yellow pear. The finish is long with lingering notes of dried pineapple, savory herbs, and crushed flint rock. Artfully crafted by Bob Travers, the 2009 drinking window is open and inviting. During winemaking, malolactic fermentation was inhibited to enhance freshness and the wine aged for 12 months in barrique, less than 10% of which was new.
