1976 Mayacamas Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 90 Points
USA, California
Nose started closed, opened up a bit with air, showed some spice. Spicy in the mouth, tannic, not as balanced as many of the others. Needs time! (my 8th, group's 5th)

1975 Mayacamas Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Mountain 86 Points
USA, California
Reticent nose, cough syrup, maybe a bit off? Not as expressive on the palate as others, mix of baked and tart fruit. Outlier for me but others really liked it. (my 9th, group's 3rd)

Ripe black fruits, plum, blackberry, touch of heat and oak on the nose. Blackberry jam and vanilla, sweet and fruity. Saved somewhat by decent acidity.
