Dalla Valle Maya 2022 from Napa Valley is a Cabernet Franc-dominant red from the iron-rich volcanic soils of Oakville. This proprietary blend is renowned for its aromatic height and structural intensity, often outperforming the estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2022 vintage was marked by significant heat, which Dalla Valle’s high-altitude site managed through careful canopy control and early picking. It offers an explosive profile of black raspberries, crushed violets, sage and pencil lead. The palate is defined by its fine-grained tannins and a vibrant energy that balances the natural richness of the fruit.
