MOUNT EDEN CHARDONNAY ESTATE 2020

$64.99

Another knockout Chardonnay from this beautiful hilltop estate high in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is a Burgundy lover’s Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Drought returned for our 2020 vintage and is forever on our minds. We dry farm and water is always a concern. In warm, dry years we experience accelerated ripening, thus we completed our Chardonnay harvest by the end of August. Classic aromas of citrus, honeysuckle and a nuance of hazelnut are abundant. Focused acidity and linear flavors of lemon, cardamom and minerality come through on the palate. -- winemaker notes.

95 POINTS, Wine Enthusiast. "The wines of Mount Eden frequently show unique profiles. This Chardonnay exemplifies that, with aromas of trampled lemons on orchard floor, wild mint and verbena on the earthy nose. The palate combines a tremendously firm grip with a buttery warmth, offering a shiso-like minty sensation across flavors of melon and toasted nut."
