Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2009 Maya is so densely structured, textured, and colored, that an assessment of it today provides only a glimpse of what the wine will become over time. This blend of Cabernet Franc (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) is indeed very expressive, jumpy like a young racehorse in the starting gate. Lively aromas of cherry cordial, baked blackberries, mocha, and coconut are highlighted by earth tones, such as crushed stones, flint, and freshly dug earth. The wine has a tight muscularity, and a cooling acidity that brings all these flavors to the foreground. As it sits in the glass, more layers of dark roast coffee, earth, and ripe black fruits are revealed, but its density and opacity speak to the fact that this wine will not reach its full potential for many years, and will likely live strong for several decades.

Professional Ratings

99 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Maya Proprietary Red Wine displays a deep garnet-purple color, exploding with notes of rose hip tea, dried lavender and candied violets over a core of raspberry preserves, blackberry pie and redcurrant jelly plus suggestions of spice cake, tobacco and forest floor. Full-bodied, concentrated and boldly fruited, the palate is beautifully lifted with racy freshness and supported with a very fine-grained frame, finishing long and incredibly poised.
95 Wine Spectator
A classy effort that delivers richness and density, with layers of dark berry fruit, spice, cedar, espresso and black licorice, firming with fine-grained tannins and a finish that offers elegance, finesse and structure. Best from 2013 through 2028.

In 1983, Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle began planting vines on the hillside of Oakville, overlooking Napa valley. Their vineyards produce excellent quality grapes, resulting in wines of great intensity, complexity and balance. Gustav passed away in 1995 and Naoko Dalla Valle continues the legacy of Dalla Valle wines. Dalla Valle Vineyards produces three wines: Maya (55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc), Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Pietre Rosse (100% Sangiovese).
