1996 Dalla Valle Maya Proprietary Red Magnum - 96 pts!

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 opaque purple-colored 1996 Maya which utilizes 50%-60% new oak reveals awesome aromatics consisting of unreal levels of cassis Asian spices earth and smoked herb and meaty scents. There is spectacular concentration in this compellingly layered multidimensional full-bodied wine that should have an almost immortal quality when it is released at the turn of the century. I suspect it will be a 30-year wine although the sweet tannin suggests it will be accessible young something that cannot be said for many other Maya vintages. RP
