Maybach Family Vineyards in Oakville is named after the family’s early 20th century patriarch, Wilhelm Maybach, a German inventor who, with his business partner Gottleib Daimler, designed and built the first Mercedes automobiles. Maybach was inducted into Detroit’s Automotive Hall of Fame in 1996. Now some of his descendants are making a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from a hillside vineyard above the Silverado Trail. Called Materium, the 100% Cab has earned praise from Robert M. Parker Jr., among others, who calls it “serious wine.” Fewer than 500 cases are produced annually. Thomas Brown is winemaker at Maybach. The estate also makes Sonoma Coast Chardonnay with a Burgundian style, and Pinot Noir.
