Dalla Valle Vineyards Maya 2021

Dalla Valle is an Oakville icon made by Napa winemaking legend Andy Erickson and internationally renowned consulting enologist Michel Rolland. Limited. 100 Points Robert Parker: "Simply a wonderful wine, the 2021 Maya oozes class, with deep, complex aromas of violets and cassis, earthy loam and hints of tobacco and mint. It's just medium to full-bodied, cool, silky and finessed. Supremely elegant but concentrated, just reined in, restrained. She's the "perfect" girl, the one so special a younger me would be afraid to ask out. The current me is married, so... I'll just sit here and drink it in. Readers should drink it in too. All of it, from the upfront fruit to the lingering, savory finish. While approachable now, this wine should continue to drink well for two decades or more." 97-100 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Maya Proprietary Red Wine is the usual blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon from a single parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon and a selection of Cabernet Franc that will spend 24 months in 80% new French oak. It has a more floral, exotic style in its blue fruits, spring flowers, incense, and peppery herbal nose as well as a stunningly pure, elegant, polished, seamless style on the palate. It's another magical wine in the making from this terroir." The 2021 Maya exudes confidence and elegance from the first sip.  It is a classic Maya blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc, the core coming from “Maya’s Vineyard” Cabernet Sauvignon always blended with carefully chosen Cabernet Franc lots to harmonize and bring lift to the energetic qualities of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded in 1982 by Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle, Dalla Valle produces high quality red wines in Napa. This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon dense wine filled with blackcurrants and earth. Rich and round and drinking well on release but can be held for years.
