Product Description
AG98+ "The 2012 Maya is surprisingly deep and powerful inb this vintage, with none of the early appeal of the estate's other 2012s. Today, the Maya is dark and brooding, with tons of intensity to match its massive, virile personality. Readers will have to be patient, but the 2012 is a special wine that much is clear" AG for VM Oct 2015
RP98 "The 2012 Maya is already revealing great complexity with notes of forest floor, licorice, truffles, red and blackcurrants and a hint of graphite. The beautiful aromatics are followed by an equally majestic, full-bodied, multidimensional wine of great class and elegance. This sensational effort should drink well for 25-30 years." RP for TWA Oct 2014
LP98 "The 2012 Maya is deep garnet in color. It bursts onto the scene with flamboyant notes of warm cassis, juicy plums, and wild blueberries plus suggestions of rose oil and exotic spices with a touch of crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is intense and rich, with plush tannins and seamless freshness leading to a long and fragrant finish on this lovely wine." LPB for TWI Feb 2024
Robert Parker writes, "This iconic estate whose vineyard is planted high in the red soils of the Oakville Corridor, on the eastern hillsides of the Vaca Mountains, has turned out two magnificent 2012s. The superb 2012 vintage has given proprietress Naoko Dalla Valle a brilliant blueprint to imprint the gorgeous style of these wine. She is backed up admirably by the globe-trotting, world-renowned winemaking guru, Michel Rolland." Published: Oct 30, 2014
