Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Cabernet Franc, the dense purple-colored 2005 Maya represents a return to the profound Mayas produced during the 1990s. There will be 400 cases of this effort, which offers up beautiful scents of blueberries, black raspberries, creme de cassis, spice box, cedar, and minerals. Full-bodied and powerful as well as elegant and pure, it will require 5-10 years of cellaring, and should keep for three decades or more.

The 2005 Maya Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Cabernet Franc. Many experienced observers believe that the Cabernet Franc grown in the red soils of Dalla Valle’s vineyards is the finest in California, and this cuvee has always reflected that. The dense ruby/purple-hued 2005 reveals a lovely, sweet perfume of scorched earth, black and red fruits, truffles, and a whiff of pain grille. The flavor profile possesses notions of chocolate and smoky oak along with rich, layered fruit, an enticing texture, and a long finish. This outstanding red wine will age well for 20-25 years. It is one of the most graceful, approachable Mayas made recently.

The gorgeous 2005 Maya, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (35%) and Cabernet Franc (65%), displays an inky/ruby/purple color in addition to sweet aromas of camphor, incense, blue and blackberries, cedar, and assorted spices. This full-bodied, extraordinarily elegant, pure, rich wine needs another 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep for two decades or more.

Wonderful ripeness, focus, purity of flavor and balance, serving up a mix of ripe cherry, currant, plum and blackberry fruit that's supple and elegant, slowly revealing subtle flavor nuances and ending with ripe, integrated tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
 

Additional Information

Sub-Region :
Napa Valley
America’s equivalent of Bordeaux, Napa Valley is the most famous winegrowing region in the United States. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay reign supreme in Napa Valley, but many of varietals are also grown successfully. Wines made from Napa Valley grapes vary greatly depending on the specific AVA or sub region where they are grown. Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Stag’s Leap, Oakville and Rutherford are a few acclaimed sub regions with their own distinct climactic and soil conditions. It is also the home of California “cult wines” like Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate and Grace Family Vineyard. View all our items from Napa Valley
Region :
California
Since the famous Judgement of Paris in 1976 California wines have unquestionably ranked among the best in the world. From the Anderson Valley in the North through Temecula Valley in the South, California vineyards grow dozens of wine grape varietals that produce wines of many different styles. The California wine industry has steadily gained ground since the 1960s (the industry took a major hit following Prohibition), but its roots date back over 200 years. Major grape varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. View all our items from California
