Tasting Notes:

95 points Vinous

 The 2011 is a gorgeous Maya. It is maybe a bit light next to surrounding vintages, but still has plenty of depth and overall intensity. Black cherry, mocha, plum, spice, licorice and scorched earth flesh out nicely. The new oak is maybe a bit pushed for the wine’s structure. At the time, Maya was done in mostly new oak, as opposed to about the 75% or so that is more typical today. (AG)  (10/2021)

93 points Int’l Wine Cellar

 Bright ruby-red. Higher-pitched on the nose than the Cabernet bottling and tighter today, offering hints of dark berries, violet, minerals and licorice. Then big, rich and mouthfilling, conveying a texture of liquid silk and a powerful impression of the site’s red soil. Saline mocha and graphite flavors display terrific definition and underlying spine. Finishes with substantial building, sweet tannins and outstanding length. Zero impression of underripeness here. This classy, highly concentrated wine may yet merit an even higher score. An exciting 2011. (ST) 93+  (5/2014)

91 points Wine Spectator

 Supple and creamy, especially for the vintage, with rich, vivid blackberry, currant, cedar and loamy earth notes. The crushed rock minerality keeps the flavors in check on the finish. (JL)  (11/2014)
