One of California's longest-lived white wines, this Chardonnay from cult classic Mount Eden is very floral in the nose with scents of honeysuckle and gardenia flowers. This wine is balanced and full of finesse on the palate with Mount Eden's usual firm acidity. The finish is long, subtle, and mineral-laced.

95/100 - Powerfully ripe yet racy and thrilling with acidity, this deeply concentrated Chardonnay exhibits a masterful balance of pure, persistent citrus and orchard fruit against a deeply earthen, savoury core of minerality. While fermented and aged primarily in new French oak, its oak expressions are subtle and smoky, revealing more richness and depth of texture on the palate. A stunning expression of coastal, high-altitude California Chardonnay that should develop even more complexity in the decade to come. Anna Lee C. Ijima, Decanter

94/100 - Crisp aromas of lemon glaze and lemongrass pick up earthy tones on the nose of this bottling. Penetrating, citrus-driven acidity plays against a chalky texture on the sip, where honeydew and minty lemon flavors align - Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast 

Fine underlying acidity; fresh lemon and mineral flavours are backed up with hazelnut and anise.
The Mount Eden Chardonnay comes from vines propagated from a Burgundian selection.
The juice is barrel fermented; it is then cellared for two years before release.
This will be best enjoyed five to ten years after release.
This wine would be delicious with a crab salad.

The Estate Chardonnay grapes are harvested when
slightly yellow to yellow-green and pressed without
crushing.
All of the juice is barrel-fermented in French Burgundy barrels, where the wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and is aged on the lees for ten months before being lightly filtered prior to bottling.
The Chardonnay is then cellared for two years before
being released for sale.

Many vintages are still fresh and enjoyable after fifteen years, explaining why Mount Eden Estate Chardonnay is considered one of California's longest-lived white wines

Winery History
Mount Eden Vineyards is, without question, one of California’s most important and historic winemaking estates. Originally planted by legendary (not to mention maverick) winemaker Martin Ray back in the 1940s, Mount Eden has been witness to its fair share of joy, disaster and intrigue over the years.

Since 1981 things have settled down on the mountain, after winemaker Jeffrey Patterson... Read More >>
