Mayacamas Sunset Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunset Block emerges from one of the newer parcels planted during the large redevelopment here that started in 2014. It shows a bit more brightness and energy than the main Cabernet bottling, with all of the vertical structure and overall intensity that is such a signature at Mayacamas. At the same time, the Sunset Block shows an elegant side of the property that is so alluring. Drinking window: 2028-2048. Score – 98. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Jan. 7, 2022)
