Jeb Dunnuck
A smaller production cuvée from a single parcel of the estate vineyard the 2018 Maya Proprietary Red Wine is the normal 60/40 split of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. Incredibly perfumed with complex notes of blue fruits flowers loamy earth graphite and tobacco it hits the palate with full-bodied richness polished silky tannins no hard edges and a finish that won’t quit. While this is a rich concentrated wine it’s the complexity elegance and finesse that define this cuvée which is going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and cruise for 2-3 decades.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The very deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Maya is shy and restrained to begin. With swirling it begins to reveal beguiling notes of fragrant earth lavender garrigue and Sichuan pepper giving way to a core of wild blueberries boysenberries black raspberries and black currants plus a hint of iron ore. The palate is full-bodied revealing itself in slow-releasing layers of black and blue fruits with exhilarating earth and mineral sparks framed by firm beautifully ripe tannins and bold freshness finishing on a persistent ferrous note. As cerebral as it is downright hedonic this Maya is simply jaw-dropping.
Vinous
The 2018 Maya is stratospheric. Inky deep and wonderfully layered Maya is off the charts. Inky red/purplish fruit cedar licorice spice tobacco and mocha are some of the many notes that grace the 2018. The wine is young but exceptional and vivid. Maya is usually much more forbidding at this stage this is an incredibly refined vintage. The purity and delineation of the flavors is unreal. Moreover the 2018 is a wine of extreme pleasure.
