Dalla Valle Maya 1991 is a full-bodied Bordeaux-style red wine from the Napa Valley of California. Dalla Valle Maya is a flagship wine from Dalla Valle Vineyards, a boutique winery founded by Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle in 1982. The estate is located in the Oakville appellation within Napa Valley, an area known for producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is typically a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with the proportions varying each year depending on the best representation of the vineyard. "The 1991 Maya is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years, as the aromatics are starting to enter a fully tertiary phase of their development. Sweet tobacco, leather, pine and menthol all linger on the silky, expressive finish. The 1991 isn`t the most powerful Maya, but it is among the most refined and polished." Vinous, 2014

Saturated dark red. Wonderfully polished, complex aromas of black raspberry, plum, truffle, smoky oak and caramel, plus a hint of black olive (this wine actually reminded me of some of the earlier vintages of Harlan Estate). At once plush and vibrant, offering terrific retention of sweet berry fruit complicated by tobacco and smoky oak. Firm acidity (natural?) turned slightly tart with aeration but this wonderfully long, saline wine finishes with serious but well-integrated tannins and outstanding verve. While it does not have quite the give of the 2008 I tasted alongside it for my '08 horizontal, it has guts of steel and should go on for years. (13.5% alcohol)Stephen Tanzer1st July 2018
