These wines from Mayfield Vineyard continue to make all the right moves. This 2023 release of the Eighteen Fifteen Chardonnay dials things up on the previous vintage.
It carries much the same shape with flinty and matchstick things along with concentrated peach and nectarine. But it's the more precise focus that has me hooked this time in. Some richness drives long with a palate etched with fine ginger snap biscuit spices. Danish pastry and ribbons of delicate vanilla hug each turn. An incredibly satisfying drink, pour me another glass, please.
