The 2021 Maybach Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus is a distinguished red wine hailing from the Napa region of California, USA. This varietal, produced by Maybach, is crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and sealed with a traditional cork closure. With an alcohol content of 14.6%, this vintage showcases the focused intensity typical of the North Coast's terroir.

The wine has received high praise from prominent wine reviewers, emphasizing its potential and complexity. Jeb Dunnuck awarded the 2021 Maybach Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus a stellar 97 points, describing it as "flat-out brilliant." Dunnuck highlights the wine's "layered, perfumed, almost exotic style" with notes of "black and blue fruits, spicy, floral, incense, orange blossom, and gravelly earth-like aromas and flavors." He commends its full-bodied richness, refined tannins, and vibrant, focused character, suggesting it deserves at least 4-5 years of cellaring and promises to evolve gracefully for at least two decades.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also provided an excellent review, granting the wine 95 points. The review describes the 2021 Amoenus as offering "aristocratic notes of crushed stone, cassis, black cherries, and cedary overtones." The critic notes a marked contrast to the more sumptuous 2019 vintage, pointing out the 2021's firm structure and plentiful tannins. The wine is described as "rather stern at this stage of its development," indicating that it would benefit from some time in the cellar to reach its full potential.

In summary, the 2021 Maybach Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus is a highly acclaimed wine with a structured, complex profile. It features a blend of black and blue fruit flavors, accented by floral and earthy notes. Both reviewers suggest that while the wine is currently impressive, it will significantly benefit from extended aging. This wine is a compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a robust, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa.
