Dalla Valle Maya 2010 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. On the 2010. "The 2010 Maya is a less evolved, more backward, brooding wine with a dense opaque blue/purple colour, explosive richness, and abundant notes of incense, camphor, charcoal, blackberries, blueberries and hints of violets and forest floor. Full-bodied, pure, deep, structured and powerful, this massive Maya comes across as even bigger and richer than the 2009." Wine Advocate, 2013
97 Vinous
Full ruby to the rim. Wilder, muskier scents of dark raspberry, blueberry, espresso bean, lavender, graphite and licorice. Thicker on entry than the Cabernet Sauvignon bottling but not showing as much personality or sweetness today. More soil-inflected, and more important. A large-scaled, very rich, full wine with the dusty floral complexity of noble Cabernet Franc. Really saturates the mouth with perfumed dark fruits. Holds its uncanny density and breadth through a strongly mineral, firmly tannic, rising back end, with the finish saturating the entire palate and leaving the taste buds sated. A larger-scaled wine than the Napa Valley Cabernet and ultimately more complex, with more stuffing to support its tannins. Forty-eight hours in the recorked bottle brought captivating sweetness.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2020

The 2010 Maya is deep garnet in color. A little subdued to begin, it slowly unfurls to offer notes of crushed black and red currants, Morello cherries, and mulberries plus suggestions of black tea, fallen leaves, and bay leaves with a hint of lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound with a lively line and loads of savory layers, leading to a pleasantly chewy finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown28th February 2024
