Gustav and NaokoGustav and Naoko Dalla Valle — who established the Oakville hillside estate in 1982 — created Maya: a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend named for their daughter that achieved Wine Advocate perfect 100-point scores in back-to-back vintages (1992 and 1993) at the very moment when the Napa Valley cult wine phenomenon was consolidating its international identity.

The back-to-back perfectThe back-to-back perfect scores for Maya — among the earliest perfect scores Robert Parker had awarded to any Napa Valley wine — placed Dalla Valle alongside Harlan Estate and Screaming Eagle in the original triumvirate of Napa Valley cult wine programs that defined what was possible in California Cabernet Sauvignon at the highest critical level.

Oakville / Dalla Valle Estate
The wine named for the Dalla Valle daughter that earned back-to-back Wine Advocate 100-point scores (1992 and 1993) — Maya Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc blend from Oakville hillside terrain, one of the original cult wine perfect-score achievements that defined the Napa Valley luxury Cabernet era at its most historically significant early-1990s moment.

Oakville / Dalla Valle Estate
Dalla Valle's hillside Oakville estate Cabernet — the foundational expression from the benchland property whose daughter-named Maya blend earned back-to-back perfect scores, consistently earning 93–97 points from Wine Advocate for the Oakville hillside concentrated character that Naoko Dalla Valle's continuing estate stewardship produces.
