Mount Eden Vineyards
Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Mount Eden's Chardonnay grapes are harvested when slightly yellow to yellow-green and are pressed without crushing. All of the juice is barrel-fermented in new and one-year-old French Burgundy barrels, where the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged on the lees for ten months prior to bottling. The Chardonnay is then cellared for two years before being released.

WOTN. Good color. Butter and cream with massive depth. Pears and subtle melons on the palate. Really good!

Medium acidity. Aggressive oak but well-integrated. Tropical fruit, almond, vanilla, with some flowers.
