Maybach Family Vineyards Amoenus Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Limited release of one of Napa Valley's top-scoring Cabernets. 98 Points Robert Parker: "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Amoenus Cabernet Sauvignon features vibrant, youthful crushed blackberry and black currant notes with touches of wild thyme, charcoal, pencil shavings and damp soil. Full-bodied, richly fruited and packed with vivacious black fruit and savory layers, it has lovely, ripe, grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing with great persistence. 240 cases produced."

The ‘Amoneus’ Cabernet Sauvignon by Maybach is sourced from a hillside vineyard located just west of Calistoga. A dense, glass-staining purple, this wine needs a two hour decant to be fully aroused. Once awakened the wine yields copious and layered dark fruits that are woven into shades of dark chocolate, roasted dates and creme de cassis that all shine brightly in the glass. Dense and decadent on the attack, the ‘Amoneus’ provides a luxurious mouthfeel. Chocolate covered espresso bean, tar, blueberry compote and suggestions of black currant cordial flavors all march together on the palate. While delightful in its youth, this will only get better with some bottle age. Drink 2020-2040- 97

A veritable monster. Deep, dense black fruits all the way; blackberry, black plum, black raspberry, black currant. Graphite, charcoal, brown sugar, and warm baking spices. Perfectly balanced between fruit and acidity. This will go the distance and get better. 6 hr decant; still pretty much a baby though. 15s should be hidden away for a while.

This is amazing right from the get go. So silky smooth. Dark fruits, and creamy chocolate along with a 45 to 60 second finish. My first Maybach and am looking forward to trying the Materium.
