Product Description
RP100 "The very deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Maya is shy and restrained to begin. With swirling, it begins to reveal beguiling notes of fragrant earth, lavender, garrigue and Sichuan pepper, giving way to a core of wild blueberries, boysenberries, black raspberries and black currants plus a hint of iron ore. The palate is full-bodied, revealing itself in slow-releasing layers of black and blue fruits with exhilarating earth and mineral sparks, framed by firm, beautifully ripe tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a persistent ferrous note. As cerebral as it is downright hedonic, this Maya is simply jaw-dropping." LPB for WA Jan 2021
JD100 "A smaller production cuvée from a single parcel of the estate vineyard, the 2018 Maya Proprietary Red Wine is the normal 60/40 split of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. Incredibly perfumed with complex notes of blue fruits, flowers, loamy earth, graphite, and tobacco, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, polished, silky tannins, no hard edges, and a finish that won’t quit. While this is a rich, concentrated wine, it’s the complexity, elegance, and finesse that define this cuvée, which is going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and cruise for 2-3 decades." JD Jan 2021
LP100 "The 2018 Maya, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet in color with a touch of purple. After a little swirling, vibrant, cheery notes of crushed black cherries, redcurrants, and cassis pop from the glass, giving way to touches of garrigue, wet slate, and black olives. The full-bodied palate has a firm, grainy texture and a lively backbone to support the vivacious, tight-knit fruit, finishing long and lively." LPB for TWI Feb 2024
