But was it an 05 Maybach for fair comparison?

Jammy wine . Too good. I can leave it in for too long but would be good to try after 5-7 years if not more

Bevan Cellars

Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Showing better than last time, probably a year ago🤔, I could only make it another 2 days from the original day that I wanted to open, but I'm sure those 2 extra days made a world of difference!
Its the Maybach release 🎉 celebration!

@Paul Treadway do you always get the splits? I've never bothered. Pop those earlier?

Paul Hobbs

Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Parker hands out 100 points like a teacher hands out skittles on a playground,
I'll take the 100 point Maybach for $100.00 less over this, other than that its a great wine,

Totally agreed. The Maybach Materium is incredible and they didn't Jack the price for their customers despite the 100 pt. rating.

Harlan Estate

The Maiden Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Very similar to the 02 Chappellet Pritchard hill & 04 maybach.
All $125.00 -$150.00, so nice comparison to have all 3 this month

This is an outstnding second wine in my book @Paul Treadway, even though it's priced above my pain threshold.

Rudius

Knockmore Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

No surprise that winemaker Jeff Ames' resume includes Schrader, Tor and Maybach. Big, wide red with aspirations for ginormous. Pure, extracted black fruit and smoky tobacco throughout. Big, gritty tannins from wood and skins. In 10 years this will be absolutely ethereal if it doesn't suck. Literally. Neat, risky things going on at this winery. — 10 years ago

Thanks for the note. Is this one of those "winery only" wines as I drink a lot of Rudius, but have never heard of this?

I believe that this is a mailing list-only wine for now. I understand they're ramping up production of newer vineyards, so hopefully more broadly available soon!

Interesting review

Sodhani

St. Helena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

3 hour decant & still tight as a drum, not much of a nose.
Hold em if you got em
Made by Thomas Rivers Brown of Schrader & Maybach fame.
No where near as approachable as Maybach or his own wine Label Rivers Marie.
Corking it back up till tomorrow, could be one of those 2nd day wines.
Whats next🤔?

Trocken Pinot Noir

Sweet, easy to drink, very fruity. — 9 years ago

Shibumi Knoll

Buena Tierra Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

The name means "understated elegance" which perfectly describes this wine. Beautiful, rich Chardonnay but still very balanced. For lovers of dense, buttery (but not too oaky!) Cali chards this should be on your must try list. Thomas Rivers Brown doesn't make too many Chardonnays, but those he does (this, Maybach, Rivers-Marie) are just incredible. — 9 years ago

Thanks. And I know I don't need to tell you @David A Lentine but this is best at 50/55 degrees.

Jean Edwards Cellars

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Should have decanted it longer as it started to show off during the course of the evening. Drank side x side with a 2005 Maybach and was not over-shadowed. Drink with a long decant or hold. — 10 years ago

PNP
Expected much more enjoyment, based on previous Vintages of this wine from Gargiulo Vineyards.
The 2012 575 OVX Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville Estate Vineyard; tastes“thin” when to other Oakville Cabs in this price range; I.E, Maybach Materium, Schrader Beckstoffer Cabs, etc.
Disappointed, can’t report much here, sorry.

Trocken Riesling

V13 A mass produced German Riesling for the Rheinhessen region. Our first none the less.
Canned pineapple on the nose, with passion fruit in the mouth.
A high acidity finish.
Good bang for buck at €5
