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 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Vivid intense aromas of new saddle leather plums black currants underbrush and licorice are followed by a full-bodied sensationally concentrated wine with sweet tannin a deep exceptionally pure and concentrated mid-palate and an opulently-textured finish. It was surprisingly open-knit and delicious when tasted in October but there is more tannin lurking beneath the surface. RP |
