96pts James Suckling

Cloves, dark fruit, leather and savory complexity. Youthful, velvety tannins with crisp acidity, a full body and a spicy finish full of blond tobacco and coffee grounds.

94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, the Mazzei 2021 Philip is soft and richly textured with all sorts of blackberry and black fruit aromas packed inside. These come through with special intensity in this balanced vintage. The wine style is contemporary and easily accessible for an international palate

Aged 18 months in french and american oak barrels (225 lt / 30% new).

94pts Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of black cherry and pepper add a bolt of energy to a nose that's otherwise defined by umami, savory notes of top soil, dark chocolate and coffee grinds. The palate is layers of blackberries, chocolate and more black cherries, but that peppery earthiness also endures. Carefully constructed, fine-grained tannins tame an electric current of acid on the finish.

Winemaker Notes

Mazzei Philip Cabernet Sauvignon offers full, ripe and intriguing body, long taste with pleasant and fresh aftertaste. Pair with game stews, aged and blue cheese, or spicy food.
