Simply a wonderful wine, the 2021 Maya oozes class, with deep, complex aromas of violets and cassis, earthy loam and hints of tobacco and mint. It's just medium to full-bodied, cool, silky and finessed. Supremely elegant but concentrated, just reined in, restrained. She's the "perfect" girl, the one so special a younger me would be afraid to ask out. The current me is married, so... I'll just sit here and drink it in. Readers should drink it in too. All of it, from the upfront fruit to the lingering, savory finish. While approachable now, this wine should continue to drink well for two decades or more.
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.
