Punteggi dei critici
97 Robert Parker
Perhaps there's a subtle added touch of leafy complexity to the 2020 Maya that the Cabernet Sauvignon doesn't show, but otherwise, this 60-40 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc is reasonably similar, with black cherries, dark loamy notes, hints of cassis, cedar and vanilla. It's medium to full-bodied, richly textured and tannic but with a slightly open-knit feel and a ripe, softly wooly finish.
96 James Suckling
Subtle yet transparent blackberry, black licorice and cassis bush. Some sage and lavender as well. Graphite, too. Full-bodied, yet tight and poised on the palate, with tight and refined tannins that are compact in the mouth. They are layered and run vertically down the wine. Turns nicely austere at the end. Very well done for the vintage. Give this three to four years to open up.
89 Vinous
The 2020 Maya is packed with black cherry, chocolate, spice, leather, scorched earth and incense. There's good depth to the fruit, but the tannins are searing in their intensity. There's a lot to like in the 2020, especially if it settles down. The tannins are pretty imposing today, though.

Dalla Valle Vineyards
La tenuta Dalla Valle fu lanciata sulla scena vinicola di Napa nei primi anni Ottanta, quando Gustav e Naoko Dalla Valle acquistarono la proprietà e iniziarono a piantumarvi le viti. Il vigneto domina la Napa Valley su una collina terrazzata a 122 metri sopra al Silverado Trail. Con l’aiuto dei vinificatori Heidi Peterson Barrett e Mia Klein, i loro vini hanno iniziato a sviluppare un seguito, in particolare il Maya, il loro vino principale, chiamato come la figlia, e del quale producono solo 500 cartoni per annata dalle viti e dalle parcelle migliori. L’ultimo arrivato è un vino entry-level chiamato Collina, prodotto dalle viti più giovani.
