I've surprisingly dedicated a lot of posts on this sub to a winery that up until last night, I have largely not been a fan of.

I have been drawn to it because of its reputation but also because it's atmosphere runs counter to the typical resort type feeling you get from typical Napa wineries. My biggest issue with Mayacamas cabs in the past have been their offputting acidity. I just couldn't bear, even tasting one's going back to 2008. I tried there 2011 and just hated it.

So I approached this one with deep trepidation. And happily, I left with a wonderful experience.
