Magnum
of Maybach Wine
The
name
Maybach is synonymous with quality at the finest level. The Maybach
Family Vineyards intend to honor with their hand-made wines the
tradition of individuality and craftsmanship established by their
ancestors, Wilhelm and Karl Maybach. From a single hillside vineyard
above the Silverado Trail they offer a deeply concentrated, elegantly
textured Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker Thomas
Brown’s
minimalist approach encourages the character of the Oakville region to
express itself through rich aromas and flavors.
Wine Advocate # 180 (Dec 2008) Robert Parker Rating 94
The 2006 Materium may be an even greater achievement (than the 2005) as
it is an undeniably brilliant success in a less consistent vintage for
Bordeaux varietals. Full-bodied and powerful with surprisingly silky
tannins, it exhibits abundant black fruit, charcoal, and loamy soil
characteristics as well as a 40-45-second finish. This stunning 2006
should age effortlessly for 25+ years. Drink 2008-2033
It is a pleasure to share the release of their second vintage in form
of a Magnum bottle of Maybach Wine donated by the Maybach
Family
Vineyards.
