Wine Enthusiast 94 and “Editor’s Choice”:
This always-excellent bottling from a vineyard planted in 1976 shines again in this vintage, offering aromas of clean peach, Key lime pie and airy custard. There's a deep penetration of acidity on the palate, where stony minerality wraps around lemon peel and tight stone-fruit flavors.
Also outstanding for the Wine Spectator:
This white is nicely put together, with lemon meringue and orange sherbet flavors balanced by salted, toasted hazelnut and cardamom notes, revealing hints of wild fennel on the long, lush finish.
Mount Eden was a champion of more Burgundian and less oaky and alcoholic Chardonnays long before everybody else thought they were cool. And they are still one of the best at this style.
