Maybach Materium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (750ML)

96-99 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parkers Wine Advocate: "A barrel sample, the 2016 Materium Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep purple-black color and nose of crème de cassis, blackberry pie and baked plums with hints of chocolate box, licorice, tar and violets plus a waft of sage. Full-bodied, concentrated and delivering mouth-filling baked black berries and dark chocolate layers, it has ripe, velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long." 12/17

99 Points, Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Materium is a step up and offers a truly incredible bouquet of crème de cassis and blackcurrant fruits intermixed with complex forest floor, chocolate, smoked herbs, and spring flowers. It's elegant and complex yet also full-bodied, powerful, and opulent, with a seamless texture that needs to be tasted to be believed. It gains layers and depth with time in the glass and has incredible tannin quality, good freshness, and a blockbuster finish, all making for an insanely good Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy over the coming 2 decades or more." 1/19
