Dalla Valle Vineyards Maya--Vintage 1997
Napa Valley
"The potentially perfect 1997 Maya (55 Cabernet Sauvignon and 45 Cabernet Franc) exhibits an opaque purple color in addition to a complex, knock-out nose of menthol, cassis, smoke, cedar, and fruit. It is sensationally full-bodied, but neither heavy nor cloying. Multiple layers of flavor hit the palate with sweet tannin and a seamless, unctuous texture. This prodigious Maya can be drunk now, but will be even better with 1-2 years of cellaring; it should last for 2-3 decades. Bravo!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 126, 12/31/00
