Wine Advocate

Reviewed December 2000

Close to perfection, the saturated blue/black-colored 1997 Maya exhibits complex aromatics of crème de cassis, smoke, spice box, iron, and espresso. The wine has a viscous texture, huge, concentrated, ripe fruit, remarkable body, and a seamless, multi-layered finish. The tannin, acidity, and alcohol are all beautifully integrated. This is profound stuff! (RP)

Review Date: 05/2000

Saturated full ruby. Explosive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, bitter chocolate, camphor, black licorice and violet. Extremely dense and thick without being heavy. Superb flavor intensity and depth. The thoroughly ripe tannins coat the entire palate. The slow-mounting, extremely long finish offers wonderful grip and vibrancy. A great vintage for Maya. (ST) 95+

Notes

The 1997 "Maya" consists of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc. Established by Naoko and Gustav Dalla Valle, this family estate occupies the eastern hillsides of Oakville, where iron-rich volcanic soils are interspersed with clay and rock. Named for their daughter and first produced in 1988, Maya pairs Cabernet Sauvignon from its namesake vineyard with a substantial proportion of Cabernet Franc. The 1997 combines 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc, highlighting the latter variety’s distinctive expression in this rocky hillside setting.
