Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Really lush and plush. Soft and velvety. Not a lot of grip. We’ll see how it ages but with a nice cut of beef it’s pretty darn good!!!

Age appears to be the best in four things… old wood burns best, old wine is best to drink, old friends are best to trust, and old authors are best to read. Francis Bacon 1561-1626

14.8% alc.
I've been a fan (and buyer) of Maybach since their inaugural 2004 but really think things are hitting a high stride with 2012/13.
Super concentrated nose but still impressively balanced on the palate. A great wine!!

2018 Materium comes from the Weitz Vineyard in Oakville and is all Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in mostly new barrels. It's a very different wine than the Amoenus release and has more elegant, seamless aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, black raspberries, tobacco leaf, flowery incense, and sandalwood. Château Margaux-like in its elegance and complexity, this brilliant wine has loads of sweet fruit, flawless integration of its tannins and acidity, flawless balance, and just a heavenly overall profile that I wish every reader could taste. This extraordinary effort can be drunk today or cellared for 30 years or more.

1 person found it helpfulJul 26th, 2021The flagship, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Materium, represents 560 cases and achieved 14.8% alcohol after aging in 90% new Taransaud and Darnajou casks. Remarkably, the wine matches the perfect 2013, with extraordinary fragrance of blueberry, blackberry, forest floor, truffle, spring flowers and background barbecue smoke followed by a thick, unctuously textured, juicy, but incredibly well-balanced, intense wine. This is built like a skyscraper with enormous quantities of blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit, well-integrated acidity and sweet, gentle tannins. This is an extraordinary effort from Maybach that can be drunk now or cellared for up to 30 or more years.
