Tasting notes
I was able to taste two vintages of Mayacamas's Chardonnay. Looking at the 2022 Chardonnay first, its pale gold hue is followed by a beautiful nose of honeyed citrus, persimmon, orange blossom, and spice, with some honeyed minerality and dried herb notes emerging with time in the glass. It's medium-bodied, has a solid spine of acidity, and outstanding length. It's enjoyable today and will evolve gracefully over the coming 10-12 years.

Scents of lemon curd and pencil shavings appear on the nose of the 2022 Chardonnay. A lean, lithe effort that weighs in at under 14% alcohol, it's medium-bodied, crisp and clean, with a bright, refreshingly lemony finish. It adheres to the winery's hallmark non-malolactic style and should drink well and evolve nicely over time.
