Dalla Valle - Maya - Napa Valley - 2018 | Californian Red Wine

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. 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.

2014 was a generous vintage in several respects. The season was mild and sunny, resulting in fruit with ample concentration, juicy flavors, and supple, velvet-smooth tannins across varieties. Each and every block of our estate vineyard yielded distinctive components, allowing us great flexibility and creativity in our blending. As always, the fruit was meticulously handled at harvest time, and our careful controlling of the fermentations, pressing, and elevage ensured that each bottling captured the essence of the Dalla Valle terroir.
