Mayacamas Merlot remains one of the purest expressions of the varietal produced in

America today — always made with restraint to express the more serious side of the

grape. The 2014 vintage, proudly made by our team, represents our re-commitment to

producing a meaningful quantity of this important varietal at Mayacamas. In the glass, the

nose explodes with red raspberry, star anise, black plum skin, black cardamom, and clove.

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. After a careful fermentation and maceration in

neutral wood and cement, the 2014 Merlot was aged for 22 months in neutral oak,

primarily large format foudres.
