Mount Eden is one of California's longest continuously-producing wineries, with a heritage going back to Martin Ray's 1945 plantings in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This Chardonnay is the exception in their lineup — sourced fruit, not estate. It comes from the Wolff Vineyard in Edna Valley, the oldest Chardonnay planting in that AVA (1976) and one Mount Eden has worked with since 1985. The fruit is trucked back to the Santa Cruz winery and made exactly like the estate wine: pressed whole-cluster, fully barrel-fermented, malolactic complete, aged on lees. The result is an Edna Valley Chardonnay with the structural seriousness of a Mount Eden bottle but at a friendlier price.

Antonio Galloni

"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." —Billy Norris

Robert Parker

"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." —Matthew Luczy

"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."

"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." —Matt Kettmann
