Mount Eden Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2019
- Low stock - 10 items left
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
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
