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 | 96 RP - The 1996 Maya a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc offers stunning aromatics of black currants intermixed with loamy soil scents new saddle leather underbrush and vanillin. Full-bodied and flavorful with superb purity this is another exquisite of a provocative and compelling blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. While there is noticeable tannin it is sweet. Already delicious this offering will continue to improve for 10-15 years and last for three decades. RP |
