Dalla Valle Maya – Napa Valley – Red – 2019:

 

DALLA VALLE MAYA RED: The Cult Cabernet of Oakville

Dalla Valle Maya is the pinnacle of Napa Valley’s winemaking tradition. Hailed by critics as a ‘First Growth’ of California, this proprietary red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc is a collector’s dream, offering an unparalleled combination of power, finesse, and aging potential. It embodies the iron-rich, rocky soils of its hillside vineyard in Oakville.

Tasting Notes: A Masterpiece in a Bottle

• Color: Deep, opaque ruby with a dense core.
• Nose: Profound and layered, revealing complex aromas of black cherry, cassis, cedar, incense, and graphite. Hints of violet and dark plum provide exquisite detail.
• Palate: Full-bodied and majestic, yet supremely elegant. It features a concentrated core of dark and blue fruits, framed by firm, polished tannins and a bold freshness. The finish is extremely long, savory, and memorable.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This wine demands respect. Decant for 2-3 hours and serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C). A monumental wine for monumental occasions.

• Pairings: A5 Wagyu Ribeye, Dry-Aged Porterhouse, Black Truffle dishes, or cellar it and enjoy its evolution over decades.
• Cellaring: 20+ years of prime drinking.
