Description
96 points! James Suckling. Organic. The texture of the wine on the palate is notably fine — fresh, bright acidity and gravelly minerality lead to a juicy, mouth-watering finish and complex flavors of pomegranate, black fig, tobacco, and bing cherry. 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc.

Expert Reviews
"Blackberry, bark, black currant and lead pencil aromas. Medium-bodied with blackberry and hints of fresh herbs like thyme and sage. Very integrated tannins with a fresh and clean finish. 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc."
"The 2023 Merlot is a super elegant wine from Mayacamas. In 2023, the Merlot is a touch slender, a combination of the cooler vintage and the high presence of Cabernet Franc that now informs this blend. It will be interesting to see if the 2023 blossoms with a bit of time in bottle."
