Maybach Materium Cabernet Sauvignon 2008Napa Valley

“The 2008 Materium comes from a single block called the Weitz Vineyard at a 1000-foot elevation on the eastern hillsides of Oakville. It would be hard to improve upon the virtually perfect 2007, but the 2008 is not far behind. Notes of graphite, blueberry, charcoal, spring flowers, and some background oak are followed by a dense, purple-colored wine with full-bodied power, great elegance, precision, and purity. This is again an extraordinary effort from Maybach. It should drink well for 20-25 years.” – Wine Advocate, 96 Points.
