  2023 Napa in the City: Tasting & Lunch (The Pool/Grill): This was a wine that I was worried would be a bit of a monster since every time I’ve tried the wine it has been. Maya came back to the family estate in 2017 and officially took over the winemaking in 2021. There’s more balance here than in the past. It’s still very dark fruited, big and intense style but I get a bit more acid and a bit more finesse. A wine that was well loved by most people we spoke with and many had it as their favorite of the tasting. It’s that red volcanic soil that I tend to like and with a disproportionate amount of Cab Franc and maybe with some extra age I’ll get there but I think it’s still a bit brawny for my style.

  Compared to the Cabernet this has more muscle and is a more powerful wine. The nose shows wonderful crushed violets, blackcurrants, black pepper, unsmoked tobacco and star anise. The palate is full bodied and powerful with dark spicy fruit, crushed stones, bitter chocolate, finely woven tannins along with a savoury slightly spicy mid palate, the finish is focused and long. 98
