Modus Operandi Cellars

Houyi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Deep purple, with a captivating nose of chalky blackberries, plum sauce, and Asian five spice. It just keeps drawing you in. Plenty of good fruit on the palate, not overly dry. Amazing structure with velvety tannins. The amazing finish on this wine lingers for at least a minute. To my taste, this is Cabernet at its finest and probably the best wine I’ve had. I would like to compare it to the Maybach Amoneous as it previously held my favorite all time wine position. I’m saddened that with Realm purchasing Houyi, Modus Operandi will probably not be able to make this fantastic expression of Houyi vineyard. I need to stock up!!! — a month ago

Such a great wine: accessible now but has a long future ahead. This was the wine of the night for me. Made the Maybach seem confectionary — 2 years ago

Jeb & Parker 💯,
I bought a case for flipping purposes, but after discussions with @Severn Goodwin yesterday I became intrigued🤔. Its actually not as big a fruit bomb as anticipated,. Has some structural appeal & depth to it. But I still don’t know how you can tell the difference between Bevan, Myriad & Maybach and probably Silver Oak but it’s been awhile. — 3 years ago

Bought this for drinking purposes. Love Dr Crane and this new wine from Bevan was superb. I gave it a 9.8

I’ve bought a ton of Bevan over the years and probably would of given this 98-100 as well a couple years ago. But I’m losing my taste for the big fruit forward wines nowadays🤷🏼‍♂️

Blue and black fruit with obvious oak. All this mess harmoniously balanced, a bit modern but really delicious — 2 months ago

Mag with2 hour decant, great 🥩 wine.
Having a problem with the fruit forward wines nowadays, too sweet.
Most Beckstoffer, all Caymus, Bevan, Maybach and many others. This is not one of those. — 2 years ago

My high hopes for this vintage were dashed…Not worth the price of entry.
Presents like a $30 bottle. At this point I’ll pivot to an IPA.
