96 AG "A real head-turner, the 1984 Cabernet Sauvignon from Mayacamas is simply magnificent. Even at thirty years of age, the 1984 is a youngster, with enough depth, structure and intensity to drink well for another 10-20 years. Iron, sage and leather are some of the notes that gradually open up in the glass. The simply, inescapable fact is that the 1984 is going to need more time in bottle before it delivers the kind of drinking experience that is typical of the 1970s wines today, which I suppose makes all the sense in the world."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
