100 Robert Parker
The 2016 Maya Proprietary Red Wine is blended of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it's a little reserved to begin, soon unfurling to reveal the most incredible array of floral and red fruit layers—kirsch, redcurrant jelly, black raspberries, lilacs, red roses and lavender—with achingly beautiful wafts of cigar box, pencil lead, camphor, cinnamon stick and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and with fabulous elegance and poise in the mouth, the palate delivers layer upon layer of perfumed black and red fruits with a very firm, finely grained texture and an epically long, mineral-laced finish. Give this knock-out beauty another 5 years in the cellar and drink it over the next 30+. <br/>

Lush and warm in feel, with caressing cassis, plum sauce and cherry puree flavors, infused with subtle smoldering tobacco, black tea and singed apple wood notes. Offers a very fine-grained feel on the finish, where the fruit pumps through nicely. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2020 through 2030.
Producer
Dalla Valle Vineyards
Dalla Valle was launched onto the Napa winemaking scene in the early 1980s, when Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle purchased the property and began planting vines. The vineyards overlook Napa Valley on a hillside terrace, perched at 122 meters above the Silverado Trail. With the help of Heidi Peterson Barrett and Mia Klein as winemakers, their wines have begun to develop a following, most notably with Maya, their top wine named after their daughter and of which only 500 cases are produced from the finest grapes and parcels. Their latest addition is an entry-level wine called Collina which is produced from their youngest vines.
