2014 Mount Eden Vineyards
Edna Valley Chardonnay Old Vines
$336 case

| 92 Points Vinous, Antonio Galloni "Mount Eden's 2014 Chardonnay Old Vines, from a site in Edna Valley, is pretty, understated and gracious. Pear, white flowers and sweet spices are all nicely delineated throughout in this super-attractive, mid-weight Chardonnay. Readers will have a hard time finding a better wine for the money. The Old Vines is the current incarnation of the Wolff Vineyard Chardonnay Mount Eden used to bottle. Because of low yields in Wolff, Jeffrey Patterson augmented that fruit with fruit from Stoller and Niven. Quite simply, this is a fabulous wine for the money."

| | 92 Points John Gilman "The label on this bottling has changed ever so slightly with the release of the 2014, as the Wolff Vineyard designation no longer appears on the front, so I have listed the wine to reflect this. However, the fruit source for this cuvée has not changed since the 1985 vintage and remains Wolff Vineyard. The 2014 bottling is an even fourteen percent octane and offers up a superb nose of pear, casaba melon, spring flowers, chalky soil, a touch of crème patissière, gentle vanillin oak and a signature touch of beeswax in the upper register. On the palate the wine is fullbodied, focused and impressively light on its feet, with a lovely core, excellent, nascent complexity, bright acids and outstanding length and grip on the still fairly primary finish. This is all too easy to drink out of the blocks, but the balance is here for the wine to also age quite gracefully. A very classy bottle and a superb value! 2016-2035."
