2021 Mount Eden Vineyards Estate Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains, USA

2021 Mount Eden Vineyards Estate Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains, USA image

(93 Points) The 2021 growing season was memorable for the extreme drought we experienced -12 inches of total rainfall- the lowest precipitation in our almost 80 year history. Despite the drought, the vines enjoyed a moderate spring and summer. Harvest commenced in early September which is typical for our location.



Beautiful, fresh floral aromas are the first impression. The palate is rich yet elegant with citrus, hazelnut and savory herb flavors. Given that we barrel ferment and age on the lees, the texture in the mouth is round, with the finish quite long. Buoyant acidity, a hallmark of our mountaintop vineyards, completes the picture.



Although delicious now, you can expect positive bottle development over the next five years. Total Production: 2,163 Wine Enthusiast Magazine December 2024
