1988 Dalla Valle Maya Proprietary Red - 93 pts! - FIRST VINTAGE

The estate wines produced by Dalla Valle Vineyards originates in specific vineyard blocks, imbuing each with a unique sense of place. There are three wines produced each year from the estate.

Collina Dalla Valle, translating from Italian to “Hill of the valley”, is the introductory wine into the brand. This red blend is created from the younger vines on the property and offers a more approachable profile in its youth.

Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon was the first wine created from the estate in 1986. Always blended with a small fraction of Cabernet Franc, the Cabernet expresses the beauty of Dalla Valle Vineyards terroir.

Maya, named after founders Naoko and Gustav’s daughter, is a special blend of Maya’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and our best selected blocks of Cabernet Franc.

MDV is a mailing list only wine that is produced only in exceptional years. It is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Maya’s Vineyard, the base of Maya.

Rating 93 RP - FIRST VINTAGE - The 1988 Maya made from a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc has a dense very opaque black/purple color a huge bouquet of super-ripe cassis licorice and vanillin aromas followed by astonishingly intense highly extracted impeccably well-balanced full-bodied flavors. The bad news is that only 200 cases were produced so latching onto a bottle or two will not be easy. It should drink well over the next 20-25 years probably longer. RP
