Mayacamas Vineyards Chardonnay 2018 Review
This is how rich, full bodied California Chardonnay should feel. It’s big and grippy, with a significant amount of oak. But that intensity doesn’t overwhelm, and ends with a nice medium finish (sticks to you, but not for too long). It’s the kind of fine wine you would jam out with some good friend and a legit cheese plate. You could do more food with it, but it may take over the table. Cheese, pals and a sunset and you're good here. It’s worth your dollars if you dig that big Chard vibe and crave balance.
