Today was the day that many, including myself have been waiting for, release day for the 2007
Maybach Family Vineyards
Materium Cabernet
Sauvignon!
There are not that many of what I consider high end
cabernet's that we purchase from California anymore, but
Maybach is one that just cannot be passed up, especially based on the quality of the 2007 vintage! Information below from:
2007
MAYBACH MATERIUM
Weitz Vineyard,
Oakville 100% Cabernet
Sauvignon
460 cases produced
FOURTH RELEASE of
Maybach Materium, from a single block of the
Weitz Vineyard, which sits at 1000 feet elevation on the eastern hillside of
Oakville, a bonded growing area unique in
all the world. The vines here struggle to grow among boulders and stones and in shallow soil, giving deep concentration to the fruit.
“The sheer size of the 2007
Materium makesit the best
Maybach yet. Still, the trademark balance of the
Weitz Vineyard is evident, and once again the wine is light on its feet.”— Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown
Also released today:
2008
MAYBACH ETERIUM
Sonoma Coast Chardonnay - B.
Thieriot Vineyard
48 cases produced
FROM A HILLSIDE vineyard a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, near Occidental. Burgundian in style, mineral, and floral qualities are met with an undeniably Californian personality rich with notes of stone fruit, pine needles, nuts and citrus.
.
What is there to say about the wines of Thomas Rivers Brown other than awesome? We're huge fans of his wines, and if there is one big
cabernet that I have been holding my breath for, it was this one. Release price on these was $125 this year, with a minimal price increase of $15 per bottle from last years release. Considering how much other wineries are raising their prices, this really is not that bad.
.
The
Eterium chardonnay was released at $78 per bottle, and
unfortunately, I had to pass on these for now, but that doesn't mean that I won't go back and get some when the funds become available, if there are still wines available. Time will tell!
.
But for now, I am happy that I was able to log on and secure my
cabernet sauvignon allocation. This is going to be a great vintage, and an amazing wine! I look forward to posting tasting notes
on this wine sometime around 2020 ;-) Cheers! -F. Scott
