Mayacamas - Chardonnay The Terraces 2013

ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2013 Chardonnay The Terraces emerges from a parcel of low yielding, sixty year old vines that were ripped out after the harvest and is therefore the last wine off this site until the vineyard enters production again. It is also the finest Chardonnay I have tasted off the property. Stark and intensely mineral, the 2013 offers up a compelling range of crushed rocks, lemon oil, mint,chamomile and wild flowers, all backed up by serious structure. The 2013 did not undergo malolactic fermentation, but it exudes power and raw intensity. 10/2015"

JAMES SUCKLING: "First ever special bottling at Mayacamas and this is superb. Full body, layered and complex. Cooked apple, cream and vanilla bean. So subtle and intense. Energetic. Made from vines planted in 1952 on the land with the famous Wente clone. 200 cases."
