The Story

This jewel in the crown originates in the remarkable vineyard that shares its name. A proprietary blend aged in primarily new French oak, Maya showcases the site’s exceptional Cabernet Franc; it is graceful and alluring with an unmistakable pedigree. Fewer than 500 cases are produced each year.

The signature blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from our estate in Oakville, Maya is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Both of these varieties thrive on the iron-rich, rocky soils in the eastern hills of Oakville. Our aim is to find the right combination between the “Maya Block” of Cabernet Sauvignon, which consistently produces the most compelling wine on the estate, with Cabernet Franc growing in adjacent blocks, which adds a new and exciting dimension to the wine

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, in an excellent condition and has by the neck level. Colour is and looking healthy, deep and full. On the nose it is intense, fresh, seductive and round. The taste is harmonious, fruity, perfumed, fragrant, refined, with silky tannins, full-bodied, with good texture, balanced and concentrated structure. On the palate it is layered and has coffee, leather, honey, buttery, glycerin, herbs, tobacco, tropical fruits, blackberry, raspberry and spice flavours. The finish is long, extensive and flavorful. This wine is intelligent, sexy and fine. I paid around 500-1k€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting. Good value for money.
