2023 Mayacamas Mount Veeder Chardonnay

James Suckling
Review Date: 11/2024This elegant, concentrated wine from a long, cool growing season is restrained, taut and fresh. It will be best with more time in the bottle, but it’s so fascinating now for the racy acidity and the mineral, almond and green apple flavors. It's tangy, medium-bodied, layered and linear in feel, with a texture that's mouthwatering. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2028. (JG)

The 2023 Chardonnay is a potent mountain Chardonnay endowed with tremendous phenolic structure and overall depth. Lemon peel, sage, mint, chamomile and dried flowers are front and center. Broad and imposing, with notable depth, the 2023 is a wine to cellar for at least a few years. Strong earthy and mineral inflections explode on the finish. The 2023 spent ten months in barrel prior to bottling, half in large-format oak. (AG)

Bold and generous, with intense flavors of grilled Meyer lemon, kumquat and pear, plus a touch of candied lemon peel. The vibrancy is supported by energetic acidity that gives focus and intensity, with notes of crushed stone, lemon balm and lemon verbena on the finish. Drink now through 2035. (MW)
