Winemaker Notes

The 2015 Merlot is an absolutely gorgeous wine from Mayacamas that shows wonderful purity and restraint. As this slowly begins to unwind in the glass it releases pretty aromas of bing cherries, red currants, wild herbs, spices, crushed stones, with underlying nuances of tobacco and fresh cut floral stems all taking shape. This medium-bodied Merlot is precisely structured with fine, silky tannin's and is all about balance and finesse. Displaying sheer class, and refinement, this is a beautifully made Merlot that possesses the brilliant age-worthy qualities Mayacamas is known for. That being said, readers should plan on showing a bit of patience, as this beauty will require at least a few more years of bottle age before it begins to show its best.

About Winery

Founded in 1889, Mayacamas stands as one of the most storied vineyard and winery operations in the history of American wine. Through its more than 125 years of production, Mayacamas has earned its place as a standard-bearer of traditional winemaking, and the source of some of California’s most iconic and longest-lived bottles.

Named for mountain range that divide the Napa and Sonoma valleys, the old stone winery was dug into the side of a dormant volcano crater in 1889 and has remained in production ever since. For generations, methods and tools have been passed from owner to owner, and the Mayacamas style has remained remarkably consistent.

As the newest owners in a lineage of pioneering caretakers spanning numerous generations, we faithfully steward Mayacamas towards a bright future, ever mindful of the great traditions of the past. Since 2013, our team has worked tirelessly to restore all aspects of the Mayacamas operation, ensuring continued success for this unique American stor

The subtle berry, tobacco and fresh-herb aromas are very attractive. It’s full-bodied with soft and round tannins that are chewy and focused. Rich, flavorful finish. A beautiful, traditional red that shows its mountain origins. Drink or hold
