Mayacamas Chardonnay 2023 Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California
13.5% alcohol. This is fine, restrained and pure on the nose with focused pear and citrus, as well as a hint of pineapple exotics. The palate is fresh and direct with amazing pure, balanced citrus fruit with a focus on the fruit and just a little support from fine oak, with hints of nut and meal. But, overall, this is about refined lemony fruit, with keen acidity keeping everything in great balance. Super energy to this wine, which should age beautifully over the next ten or twenty years. 95/100
