2021 Mayacamas Chardonnay - A 95 Point Bargain

We have a fantastic Chardonnay from one of Napa’s most historic wineries to offer today. While more famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Mayacamas Chardonnay is is hidden gem from the portfolio radar gem that has a level of quality that makes a mockery of its price tag. For Galloni, Rich and layered, with striking intensity” and he rates it at an excellent 95 points.

Mayacamas hs a rich history. As Galloni said after a vertical of the Cabernet, “For six decades Bob Travers made some of the most compelling, age worthy and profound Napa Valley wines at Mayacamas. These magnificent Cabernet Sauvignons capture an artisan spirit from a long-gone era in Napa Valley that is only now being rediscovered and fully appreciated for what it is: one of the richest legacies in Napa Valley, the United States and the world.” The quality clearly isn’t limited to just the Cabernet, this Chardonnay is superb.

Under new ownership since 2013, it is a property experiencing a huge upswing in quality. Prices, however, are yet to catch up making this a smart buy for those able to find it. Details are below, do take a look and let us know if you would like a case or two secured:
