WINE DESCRIPTION

Mayacamas Merlot is produced by Mayacamas Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the mountains of the Napa Valley appellation of California. The grapes used to make this wine are sourced from the estate's vineyards in Mount Veeder, which are situated at high elevations and benefit from the region's cooler climate. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting, long aging in neutral oak barrels, and additional aging in the bottle before release. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Merlot, with a rich and complex flavor profile that showcases notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Mayacamas Merlot is a must-try for anyone looking for a high-quality wine from historic Napa Valley producers.
