Mayacamas Vineyards Chardonnay, Mount Veeder, USA, 1999 (1.5L)

Description

The 1999 Mayacamas Chardonnay is a rare library release from one of Napa Valley's most historic and respected estates. Produced from the mountain vineyards of Mount Veeder, Mayacamas has long been celebrated for crafting Chardonnay in a restrained, age-worthy style that emphasizes freshness, minerality, and structure over richness.

Presented in a 1.5L Magnum, this large-format bottle has matured slowly and gracefully, allowing the wine to develop extraordinary complexity over more than two decades. Highly collectible and increasingly difficult to find, it is an exceptional bottle for serious collectors and lovers of mature California Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes

The bouquet reveals elegant aromas of baked apple, preserved lemon, pear, chamomile, toasted hazelnut, honey, wet stone, and subtle brioche. With time in the glass, notes of beeswax, dried citrus peel, and delicate spice emerge. The palate remains vibrant, supported by bright acidity and a distinctive mineral backbone, finishing long with hints of almond, citrus oil, and gentle oak.
