Named after the famed luxury car Maybach has none other than Thomas Brown as its winemaker who produced this debut vintage of 340 cases from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a single-parcel on the Silverado Trail in the Oakville sector. This is a deadly serious wine and when compared to the price of a Maybach car a great value. A beautifully sculptured style of wine with deep purple color with a sweet nose of creme de cassis pain grille spice box and loamy soil notes the wine has fabulous intensity great purity (as one might expect given the winemaker) sweet silky tannins and a terrific finish of close to 50 seconds. This is a stunning opening salvo from the Maybach family and a wine that should age easily for 20-25 years. www.materium.com
