2004 Chardonnay
Winemakers Comments:
Vintage 2004 yielded many highly regarded Chardonnays in Northern California. The Mayacamas version has a bit of fresh lemongrass character in the nose and our usual light hint of oak. Those facets are complimented by a tart, steely structure in the mouth, followed by faint pineapple nuances.
