Wine Description
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
Wine Information
Always stunning and near perfection, our 2001 Maya has an alluring nose full of ripe black cherry, dark chocolate, currants and caramel. The unmistakable floral aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, and sandalwood from our Cabernet Franc are wonderfully integrated. The wine has powerful, ripe extract; the texture definitely coats the palate and lingers effortlessly for what seems an eternity. Impressive and inky from the first smell to the final sip, the blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc from its namesake vineyard continues to be unforgettable. This is a truly remarkable wine that will make a stunning addition to any wine cellar.
