2024 Mayacamas Chardonnay Mt. Veeder
High on the slopes of Mount Veeder, Mayacamas Vineyards has been a source of legendary California wine since 1889. The mountain terroir at Mayacamas ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 feet in elevation and the estate spans 475 acres, only 50 of which are dedicated to vine. The altitude adds structure and freshness to the wines.
The 2024 Chardonnay is a textural-driven wine with aromatics of white and yellow flowers. Tones of Anjou pear, Golden Delicious apple, and lemon curd engage the front of the palate. The mid-palate exhibits balance and depth with marzipan, white pepper and mint. The wine’s finish is long and leaves the back palate with a slate and saline finish.
Vinous
The 2024 Chardonnay is positively stellar. Bright, aromatic and punchy, it is seriously beautiful right out of the gate. Lemon peel, white pepper, mint and slate all race across the palate. This energetic, chiseled Chardonnay is so impressive. What a wine!
