Parker, Jr. Issue Date 29th Oct 2015 Source 221, The Wine Advocate The flagship wine, and one of the first in Napa Valley to emphasize the fabulous potential of Cabernet Franc in specific terroirs, is the 2013 Maya Proprietary Red Wine. This wine usually spends about 22 months in new oak and normally has anywhere from 45% to as much as 60% Cabernet Franc blended with the estate?s Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2013 could well be the finest they?ve made to date, and that includes a lot of profound wines. An incredibly complex nose of charcoal embers, blackberry and cassis, some blueberries as well as white flowers, and a touch of forest floor is followed by a full-bodied wine with sweet, well-integrated tannins, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a finish that goes on for close to a minute. This is absolutely remarkable wine ? powerful, dense, but at the sane time, precise and elegant. It?s hard to believe, but I think this wine can probably age and improve for 25-40 years. Don?t miss it if you have access to it. This beautiful estate, which was purchased by the Dalla Valle family in 1982, has distinguished itself for many decades. Their red soil vineyards of volcanic origin sit on hillside terraces 400 feet above the Silverado Trail in Oakville. Tel. (707) 944-2676
