and the wine is perfectly balanced
along with flickers of sweet tobacco and alder on the finish

2021 Dalla Valle Vineyards Maya (Case of 3 Bottles) USA "A blend of 63% Cabernet"Simply a wonderful wine, the 2021 Maya oozes class, with deep, complex aromas of violets and cassis, earthy loam and hints of tobacco and mint. It's just medium to full bodied, cool, silky and finessed. Supremely elegant but concentrated, just reined in, restrained. She's the "perfect" girl, the one so special a younger me would be afraid to ask out. The current me is married, so I'll just sit here and drink it in. Readers should drink it in too. All
