Owned by the Travers family from 1968 until 2013, Mayacamas has been known for making lean, balanced, long-aging wines for more than 40 years. Many vintages need a decade or more of cellaring to really find their greatness. These wines bring one back to the old days of California wine, when wines were allowed to age gracefully and develop in the bottle. Winemaker Bob Travers, included in the Wine Spectator's roster of Napa "mavericks" (July 2002), always maintained his focus on making small quantities of premium wine, destined for a long life. His red wines usually require at least a decade to reach their full potential, some vintages much longer.

“The 1984 vintage of Mayacamas cabernet sauvignon is absolutely superb. The wine comes in listed at 12.5 percent alcohol in this warm summer and offers up a beautifully complex and expressive nose of black cherries, red plum, Cuban cigar, a superb base of mountain soil, a hint of petroleum jelly, bonfire, gorgeous spice tones and just a whisper of bell pepper in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and still a bit chewy (in the inimitable Mayacamas style), with a great core of fruit, lovely soil undertow, still some ripe backend tannins and outstanding grip and focus on the very long, very pure and stellar finish. This is another of Bob Travers’ masterpieces from this variety, and though it is not quite as seamless as the nearly perfect 1985, this is a brilliant bottle of cabernet sauvignon! With a bit of decanting, this is drinking very well indeed, though further cellaring will allow its remaining tannin to continue to soften up more completely. But, there is no rush to drink this wine, as it probably has another forty to fifty years of primetime drinking still ahead of it, as it is most assuredly structured like the great Château Latours of yesteryear. Great juice.” (06/2021)

“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.

We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.
It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.
We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.
