"Every time I go to Mayacamas there is something new to see. The redevelopment of this historic estate proceeds at what looks like a very rapid pace, even if it will be many years before the results of the work being done today shows up in the wines... The new team headed by viticulturist Phil Coturri and winemaker Andy Erickson is doing important work in redeveloping the vineyard while keeping the healthier existing vines in production for as long as possible." (10/2015) From the winemaker: "Just a few hundred cases of Merlot are made each year. Mayacamas Merlot is an uncommonly serious and complex expression of this varietal. The structure and soil expression complementing Merlot’s dark fruit, tobacco and cedar." Antonio Galloni
