This is an outlier from one of the founding brands in the Santa Cruz Mountains; they've been working with Chardonnay from this site since the 1980s.. Sourced from the oldest Chardonnay vines in the Edna Valley, at 45 years, it's a warmer climate Chardonnay and a showy one at that. An opulent nose with great balance, nutmeg, poached pear aromatics, nutmeg, tropical flavours, guava, pineapple,

The only non-estate wine in the Mount Eden portfolio, the 2022 Chardonnay Wolff Vineyard comes from old vines in this Edna Valley site. Steely and vibrant, it opens with a vivid, rounded profile of sweet pear, peach, white flowers, salted lemon and mineral tension. Pliant and generous, the texture has a lovely suppleness, and a sweet note on the finish reminds me of Halloween candy corn. This will surely be a crowd-pleaser, representing a solid value play with excellent winemaking.

This white is bursting with citrus, with notes of tangerine, lemon and lime zest, plus floral details of orange blossoms and honeysuckle. A firm hint of toasted brioche and thread of crushed rock minerality leave an impression. Drink now. 1,162 cases made.

A pleasant outlier in the Mount Eden lineup that derives from contracted fruit in Edna Valley, the 2022 Chardonnay Wolff Vineyard presents a round, tropical-fruited profile that is delivered with admirable freshness. The palate echoes with a ripe, textural profile and concludes with a straightforward, clean finish.

There's a wooly kick to the nose of this bottling, which shows lemon and struck match aromas as well. The palate is earthy in flavor and softer in texture.

Open and friendly on the nose, with pears and fennel wrapping around flavors of yellow apples, pineapple, cinnamon, lemon pastry cream and minerals. Nice concentration and generous fruit. Drink now.
