Ripe and juicy, with excellent focus to the fresh-cut melon, white peach and yellow apple flavors, all laced with mineral and floral hints, followed by a delicious, mouthwatering finish. A kiss of toast is judiciously employed. Drink now through 2010. 500 cases made. -JM

Maycas is Concha y Toro’s Limari Valley project, and the wines show terroir and personality. However, $55 is a lot to ask for this minerally, reserved style of Chardonnay. The palate and nose are narrow and stony, with pineapple and citrus flavors and tight, driving acidity. 500 cases made.——M.S.(9/1/2009)—— 88
