Mount Eden Vineyards, Edna Valley (California) Chardonnay 2020

Jan 3, 2024

By Wayne Belding

 When you are in the mood for a big, round and smooth white wine, nothing beats a big, buttery California Chardonnay.  For 35 years, Mount Eden Vineyards has made an opulent Edna Valley Chardonnay.  Drawn from the Wolff Vineyard that was planted in 1976, this luscious Chardonnay shows the classic Edna Valley style.  Aromatically, luscious pineapple, pear, and red apple fruits are enhanced by floral, herb and spice elements.  On the palate, layers of ripe apple and pineapple fruit are deftly balanced by butterscotch, vanilla and baking spice nuances from its barrel age.  It has a rich texture and a long, dry finish.
