brightness, and a strong sense of place. On our vineyard, which sits several hundred feet above the valley in the eastern hills of Oakville, both the
Cabernet Franc and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes arrived at the winery with an intense character, and great varietal definition. In the winery, the
grapes seemed to extract quickly, with loads of color, and ample tannins. Even going straight to barrel the wines seemed fully formed, though with
a very firm tannin profile. The 2013 Maya is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (57%) and Cabernet Franc (43%) from the finest Maya vineyard blocks on our estate. It is our attempt
to best capture the special quality of our unique terroir. Both varieties sing in harmony in this vintage. From the Cabernet Franc, notes of black licorice, white flowers, and campfire intermingle with the chorus of aromas
and flavors that we love from Cabernet Sauvignon: blackberry and cassis, dark chocolate and savory herbs. The signature textural power and subtle aromatic nuance of eastern Oakville is in full force, bringing notes of
burning embers, crushed stones, and sagebrush. The structure and density of this vintage will allow the wine to age for decades, and though it is now only in its infancy, this Maya is forward and muscular.

The flagship wine, and one of the first in Napa Valley to emphasize the
fabulous potential of Cabernet Franc in specific terroirs, is the 2013
Maya Proprietary Red Wine. This wine usually spends about 22 months in
new oak and normally has anywhere from 45% to as much as 60% Cabernet
Franc blended with the estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2013 could well
be the finest they’ve made to date, and that includes a lot of profound
wines. An incredibly complex nose of charcoal embers, blackberry and
cassis, some blueberries as well as white flowers, and a touch of forest
floor is followed by a full-bodied wine with sweet, well-integrated
tannins, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a finish that goes on for
close to a minute. This is absolutely remarkable wine – powerful, dense,
but at the sane time, precise and elegant. It’s hard to believe, but I
think this wine can probably age and improve for 25-40 years. Don’t miss
it if you have access to it. (Rating: 100, Drink Date: 2014 - 2054, Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Date tasted: 27th Oct 2015, Source: 221, The Wine Advocate)
