As good as it gets, yet in a different style compared to the also perfect 2016, the 2015 Maya Proprietary Red Wine boasts a sensational, ethereal, heavenly style to go with tons of cassis and blackberry fruits intermixed with notions of dried earth, tobacco, chocolate, and a beautiful sense of minerality. This cuvée is normally a blend of 60-70% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, and it's the Cabernet Franc that gives it another layer of complexity and elegance. The sexy, upfront nature of the 2015 vintage is front and center. This is a magical wine to drink over the coming 3+ decades. Wa 98 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2017 (96-98 points) Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Maya Proprietary Red Wine opens with sweet plums, spice box and kirsch notes with nuances of vanillin, cocoa powder, dried herbs and loam.

(96-98 points) Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Maya Proprietary Red Wine opens with sweet plums, spice box and kirsch notes with nuances of vanillin, cocoa powder, dried herbs and loam. Medium to full-bodied, soft, approachable and very sexy even at this youthful stage, it has a long, perfumed finish. This was tasted as a barrel sample. - Lpb JS 98 jamessuckling.com, January 2018 The polish and depth to this wine is extraordinary for the vintage. Full body, super refined and tight yet generous and exciting. Chocolate, walnut and berry. Goes on for minutes. Superb for the vintage. Better in 2020.

Superb for the vintage. Better in 2020 but already so wonderful. Vn 97 Vinous, March 2018 97+ The 2015 Maya is surprisingly powerful and tightly wound.

Time in the glass allows the tannins to relax just enough for the fruit to gradually emerge. Like all of the 2015s here, the Maya is still very primary in its expression of fruit. Even so, the wine's heady, flamboyant personality is very much on display. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, lavender and exotic spice overtones gradually develop in the glass, but it will be years before the 2015 enters its prime. -- Antonio Galloni Ws 92 Wine Spectator, February 2019 Focused, with a beam of dark currant and blackberry preserve flavors liberally lined with warm tobacco, tar and sage notes. A roasted cedar edge checks in on the finish. Gutsy, but has enough fruit to match the other. Focused, with a beam of dark currant and blackberry preserve flavors liberally lined with warm tobacco, tar and sage notes. A roasted cedar edge checks in on the finish. Gutsy, but has enough fruit to match the other earth-toned components. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2020 through 2032. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 750 cases made.–JM |
