Wine Information
The 1990 Maya is a monster in the making. Its super-saturated, opaque black/ruby color is followed by a tight but promising nose of earth, cassis, smoke, and gobs of sweet fruit. In the mouth it is even richer, as well as more tannic than the regular Cabernet. The finish is long, sweet and compelling.
The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Cabernet Franc. It should drink well over the next 20-25 years, probably longer.
