The underlying substratum Les Combottes is ocher-colored crinoidal limestone (limestone in Entroques), rich in debris from marine organisms. To the west, this layer is overlain by bedded limestone scree (grèzes litées), covering the upper part of the slope. This Comblanchien limestone scree is composed of fine angular gravel.$379.901 -
1991 Dalla Valle Maya Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend
While still a bit closed now, this wine has powerful sweet fruit, purfume and tannins. Dense black fruit reminescent of black cherries and blackberries on the palate with toasty oak. Full bodied. Good personality. Fresh and appealing. With an incredible presence in the glass with a certain austerity. Long, lingering finish. This is a benchmark Napa Valley Cabernet. Great potential.
