Description

Dalla Valle Red 2008
Maya
Bottle (4)

Wines from The Big Dog Collection. Our central coast consignor has two purpose-built subterranean cellars with redundant temperature and humidity controls. All but a few bottles were purchased on release and winery-direct, stored impaccably.

"The 2008 Maya boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as a sumptuous bouquet of blue, black and red fruits, crushed rock, spice box, licorice and subtle wood. Full-bodied, multilayered, pure and deep, this is a striking, seamless wine with flawless balance and great concentration as well as length. Multiple dimensions, incremental richness and a 45-second finish suggest this beauty is one of the top wines of the vintage." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2010)

"Dark red. Alluring aromas of currant, plum, truffle and sexy oak spices are lifted by a note of cocoa powder. Plush, wonderfully dense wine with a youthfully restrained sweetness and serious spine. Less expressive today than the basic Napa Valley bottling, conveying a strong impression of medicinal reserve and subtle inner-mouth floral lift. A beautifully balanced blend but still needs another five or six years to blossom fully in bottle. Great potential." (95 pts. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, March 2018)
