THIRD RELEASE of Maybach Vocabulum, sourced from the vineyard formerly known as Thorevilos. Planted in 1990 to a small hillside valley 800 ft above the Silverado Trail, the soil here is mostly volcanic rock with stones, pebbles, and red clay. Located near St. Helena, this site is long known to produce wines of depth and finesse.
TASTING NOTES
The vintage as a whole is juicy, fruit forward and generous making it accessible upon release. As we taste these wines, we are also seeing a disconnect between color and palate weight. The hues are best described as medium setting an expectation for the same in terms of impact. The disconnect is obvious early on though as the palates are more layered and structured than the color suggests and that only gets more pronounced as you move up the qualitative ladder. As with all previous years, these wines reflect the vintage in which they were grown.
