There will be no 2003 Maya, as the winemaking team here did not like the tannic structure of the wine, or the consistency of ripeness (even in 2002, Naoko Dalla Valle sold off a lot of cabernet franc because it was not supple enough).Dalla Valle has steadily been replanting its vines due to phylloxera but has had to speed up the replanting program owing to leaf roll virus and oak root fungus.After the 2005 vintage, the oldest cabernet franc vines on the property, dating back to 1984, will be replanted.Michel Rolland has been consulting here since the 2004 harvest.
