2018 Mayacamas Chardonnay Mt. Veeder
This beautiful 96pt gem is about as polished as they come. She sings with opulence, sparkles with mountain minerals, and warms the soul with her sunny orchard peach and candied citrus charm.
Wine Enthusiast
Made from decades-old dry-farmed vines planted to the Wente clone in rocky, volcanic soils, this is a stunning wine, flinty, fleshy and expansive, with undeniable minerality. Lemon zest, meringue and pear contrast against persistent acidity and a lasting briny tone that lifts the palate further. Enjoy from 2026-2032.
James Suckling
Mayacamas always delivers such focused and well-crafted chardonnay like this with cooked-apple, pear, light vanilla and seashell character on the palate. It's tight and super integrated with a tight, creamy palate that goes on for minutes. Serious structure. Drink or hold.
