Thomas Rivers Brown is the Winemaker for Maybach. He also makes his own label Rivers-Marie. This Maybach is very similar in style to the Rivers-Marie Pinot Silver Eagle bottling. Styling is near identical. This bottling shows a bit more earth & minerality. — 6 months ago

Deep purple, with a captivating nose of chalky blackberries, plum sauce, and Asian five spice. It just keeps drawing you in. Plenty of good fruit on the palate, not overly dry. Amazing structure with velvety tannins. The amazing finish on this wine lingers for at least a minute. To my taste, this is Cabernet at its finest and probably the best wine I’ve had. I would like to compare it to the Maybach Amoneous as it previously held my favorite all time wine position. I’m saddened that with Realm purchasing Houyi, Modus Operandi will probably not be able to make this fantastic expression of Houyi vineyard. I need to stock up!!! — 2 years ago

Jeb & Parker 💯,
I bought a case for flipping purposes, but after discussions with @Severn Goodwin yesterday I became intrigued🤔. Its actually not as big a fruit bomb as anticipated,. Has some structural appeal & depth to it. But I still don’t know how you can tell the difference between Bevan, Myriad & Maybach and probably Silver Oak but it’s been awhile. — 5 years ago

Good but not great. Same vineyard source as Maybach Materium, but not nearly that good. Still, perfectly enjoyable in its own way. — 6 years ago

The Vocabulum is the sure bet to win the long game of 20 plus yrs because of it big structure. Window of 20-40 yrs for its best depending on how you enjoy them. Another candidate for a perfect score when the ratings come out Spring-Summer next yr. — 6 months ago

Mag with2 hour decant, great 🥩 wine.
Having a problem with the fruit forward wines nowadays, too sweet.
Most Beckstoffer, all Caymus, Bevan, Maybach and many others. This is not one of those. — 4 years ago

You have to be patient. Out of the gate everyone loved the Maybach which is just so delicious right out of the chute. Give it an hour (probably more) and this really starts to shine. Two hours into dinner this was amazing and just outshined the Maybach. To be clear I love both. Start with Maybach finish with this and just be incredibly happy. Happy anniversary. — 5 years ago

Because who doesn’t love to celebrate national Cab Franc day? @rudiuswines is Brittany & Jeff Ames label. Jeff was an early understudy to Thomas Brown, working on Schrader, Maybach, and Outpost amongst others while he developed his own client list, including Tor Kenward, Boich, and Anthem. It’s worth noting that the wines Jeff has produced for Tor have been some of my favorites for at least a decade.

The 2014 Rudius Cabernet Franc Sugarloaf Vineyard Napa Valley envelopes your plate with a captivating display of mouthwatering raspberry, savory loam, sweet tobacco, and just the right hint of bell pepper before the cocoa powder dusted finish rocks your world. Delicious is an understatement. This was so spectacular I opened it two nights in a row (run don’t walk to Sunshine and steal it for $40). #delicious #rediculouslydelicious — 7 years ago

A bit strange this Chardonnay. It starts like a burgundy and then it’s Ca climate shows with structure and then finishes with Meursault mineral-saline like finish. The fruit profile is uniquely different to me. It neither shines nor seems faded. Can’t really find the exact wording to state it. Oddly slightly sweet & sour lemons, tropical melons, grapefruit, soft lime zest, orange blossoms light butterscotch & melted reduced brown sugar. — 6 months ago

Such a great wine: accessible now but has a long future ahead. This was the wine of the night for me. Made the Maybach seem confectionary — 3 years ago

Solid 9.5. Did not match up to the Maybach/Abreu/SQN last night but still excellent. Much lighter on the palate even less than than an Aubert Pinot, great aromatics, classic Cab flavors but not the rich, dark, deep flavors of last night. — 5 years ago

I followed this over two days. It was initially opened alongside a 2016 Maybach Materium, 2013 Kapscandy Roberta’s Reserve, 2002 Colgin Cariad and a 2006 Dalla Valle Maya.

Aside from BV’s Guest Cottage, this is the only wine from them I haven’t had. Sporting almost a 16%ABV, it poured like motor oil in to the glass. Thick, rich and heady aromatics. This has that classic high quality Napa cab smell to it...smells of expensive toasted oak, espresso, fondue dipped dark fruits, and spiced nutmeg. A meal by itself on the palate, this is a 2013 that is unsurprisingly massive and in need of food to cut through the tannins. Dark initially before it turns slightly red fruit forward at the finish...dark cocoa topped black cherries, espresso sweetness, and black currant. I’d hold at this point. Not sure a decant is doing much at this stage. — 6 years ago
