The 2018 Mayacams Cabernet Sauvignon is utterly captivating. It immediately begins to impress as it displays remarkable elegance, purity and a lovely sense of character. This offers incredibly perfumed aromas of blackberries and cassis, which are woven together with fresh cut florals, spices, herbs, crushed gravel and graphite nuances that all take shape. The palate is medium to full-bodied and well-structured with polished tannins that firmly wrap its core. It goes on to display outstanding overall precision and balance with a remarkable sense of freshness that continues through the long finish. This is a simply stunning wine from Mayacamas that already shows off its sheer quality. That said, the 2018 will require a bit of patience as it is ultimately a Cabernet built for the cellar and destined for a brilliant future.
