Mayacamas Vineyards
Mt. Veeder Chardonnay
At Mayacamas, looking out to the San Pablo Bay. Tasting the influence of the marine breeze and spirited land. If the pinnacle of a wine is doing the land justice, not screwing up its potential and maybe, just maybe, capturing even a faction of its magic - well that is what this does. It's hella meta. And I will never drink this wine with out thinking of and feeling this site again. And hopefully I will drink this wine often because my god is it delicious. A draw you in sweetness on the nose and wake you up energy in the mouth.

Very charming and bright wine with great acid and balance. I tasted this against the older vintages, and I am sure that this will last for the next 10 years.

Jan 16th, 2015Kul att testa en riktigt Napa-klassiker. I doft mycket ananas, päron med lite rökiga undertoner. I munnen är syran väldigt potent och lång. Vinet är just nu väldigt citrusfriskt, vanilj och mineral i eftersmaken. Ordentligt eldigt med inte hel integrerad alkohol nu. Kan nog ligga tio år minst för att komma till rätta.
