• Wine Access Tasting Note

  A stunning deep ruby hue. On the nose, it bursts with aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis, and crushed violets, seamlessly woven with graphite, dark chocolate, cigar box, and a hint of baking spices. The palate is both powerful and elegant, with dense yet silky tannins framing flavors of blackberry compote, juicy plum, and blackcurrant, accompanied by savory notes of fresh sage, tobacco leaf, and crushed volcanic rock. Vibrant acidity and a mineral-driven core lend a sense of precision. The finish is long and complex, reverberating with layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and sweet herbs. A masterfully balanced wine with remarkable depth and aging potential. Drink now–2040

  Wine Advocate

  Simply a wonderful wine, the 2021 Maya oozes class, with deep, complex aromas of violets and cassis, earthy loam and hints of tobacco and mint. It's just medium to full-bodied, cool, silky and finessed. Supremely elegant but concentrated, just reined in, restrained. She's the "perfect" girl, the one so special a younger me would be afraid to ask out. The current me is married, so... I'll just sit here and drink it in. Readers should drink it in too. All of it, from the upfront fruit to the lingering, savory finish. While approachable now, this wine should continue to drink well for two decades or more.
