Maybach Family Vineyards Description
The 2017 Maybach Amoenus possesses a completely opaque royal purple hue in the glass. Decadent aromas swell from the bowl suggesting notes of cassis, blackberry, worn leather, violet and dark chocolate. The palate experience has a seamless trajectory layered with mouth-coating notes of lilac, boysenberry, pomegranate, river rock, and baking spice. The combination of all the layers and components of this wine come together in a finishing crescendo that lingers for a minute plus. Made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points
From a single vineyard in Calistoga, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus isn’t far off what the estate produced in 2016. It’s a pure, full-bodied, powerful 2017 that does everything right. Loads of blueberries, cassis, Asian spice, and flowery incense define the bouquet, and it has a pure, classic, focused style on the palate. I love its purity of fruit, it has ripe, present tannins, and while it needs 2-3 years of bottle age, it’s going to evolve gracefully for 15-20 years.
