Net Priced WineSIXTEENTH RELEASE of Maybach Materium! This is a heavenly Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that should blow your socks off for at least two decades.

Winemaker Notes

All good things come in time, and this vintage allowed for extended hang time in our ridgetop block in the eastern Oakville hills. This site excels when the mature vines are allowed to develop uninhibited by weather interference. This doesnt occur every year, but when it does, its hard to imagine another site that consistently produces such focused wines that express power, complexity and elegance like the Materium wines.

This vintage is deep and dark: the color, the aromas, and the fruit density all come together with an elongated palate experience and deep flavors. This is a wine where the aromatic expression can be noted from an arms length away. The robust palate is marked by an exotic mix of dark fruit, baking spice and loamy notes, giving way to a lengthy, ethereal finish. If youve been a collector of this wine for years, this is one vintage that will serve as a cornerstone and reminder of what is possible from this world-class site.

Critical Acclaim

100pts Jeb Dunnuck
Absolute pure perfection in wine, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Materium comes from the Weitz Vineyard in Oakville and is all varietal raised in mostly new barrels. Its deep, saturated purple hue is followed by a kaleidoscope-like array of black and blue fruits, chocolate, gravelly earth, and tobacco, and it picks up an undeniable sense of minerality with time in the glass. Full-bodied and incredibly concentrated, with a stacked mid-palate and building yet perfect tannins, this magical effort blends power and elegance flawlessly. It needs at least 4-5 years in the cellar, but this is a heavenly Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon I wish every reader could taste. It should blow your socks off for at least two decades.

Sourced from the Weitz Vineyard in the hills of eastern Oakville, Maybach\’s 2021 Materium Cabernet Sauvignon is a near-perfect rendering of the variety and place. Intense aromas of cassis and black cherries waft from the glass, while in the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, rich and concentrated, without being heavy. Focused, long and mouthwatering, with a finish lined by soft, plush tannins, this is the real deal from consultant Thomas Rivers Brown. Reviewed by Joe Czerwinski. Issue date: January 2024. Drinking window: 2025 – 2045.
