As stunning as this basic Cabernet Sauvignon is, the 2002 Maya, a proprietary blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc, is pure perfection. It boasts an inky purple color as well as an extraordinary perfume of incense, black fruits, charcoal and forest floor. Full-bodied, with monumental intensity, a multidimensional texture/mouthfeel, and a stunning finish, this beauty reveals the brilliant quality of the Dalla Valle Cabernet Franc plantings meshed with their powerful Cabernet Sauvignon.

100 Pointer and still 95+ in my book. Albeit not as exotic as the 92/3 at its peak but fab right bank silky mouth feel, clean structure and layers of dark intense fruits.

Fantastic. Still tannic with great structure - opens up after 30 mins and begins to sing.

We last had one of these 4 years ago and it didn’t disappoint again. Still youthful and fruit forward which is amazing for a 16 year old wine. Long finish and mouth coating. Awesome. Glad that we have one more.
