Mount Eden Estate Chardonnay has a claim few wines in California can match: an unbroken lineage going back to the late 1940s, when Martin Ray propagated cuttings from Paul Masson's original Burgundian selection at 2,000 feet in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The vines are planted in infertile Franciscan shale above the fog line, yielding small crops of intensely structured fruit. This is one of California's longest-lived white wines — a Chardonnay that drinks like a serious white Burgundy in its youth and ages for two decades or more. 2021 was a beautifully balanced cool-coastal vintage; expect this to keep getting better.

"Deep golden yellow in the glass, the 2021 Chardonnay Estate Bottled is soft-spoken and inward today. It’s clearly holding its power in reserve as it plots its next move. Briny, focused, lemony acidity presses on with much gusto, energizing a deep well of crushed stones, soft floral tones and green pear fruit. Rounded and enveloping, it unfurls at a snail’s pace as lime zest and subtle tropical flourishes inflect the finish. This classy, restrained wine needs a couple of years in bottle to fully blossom." —Billy Norris

"The 2021 Chardonnay Estate strikes an admirable balance between textural decadence and tensile sturdiness. It leads with a rich, layered nose of honeyed orchard fruits, blanched almonds and baking spices. The palate harnesses a soft, creamy richness with lifted acidity and impressive, saline length on the finish. Continuing the time-tested style of Mount Eden, this should build further complexity and intensity for nearly a decade." —Matthew Luczy

"A concentrated white, with white peach, candied orange peel and ginger candy flavors at the core. Cardamom, grilled bread and clove accents give this an aromatic boost, while additional citrus notes on the finish leave a fresh impression. Drink now through 2034."

"Smooth and inviting aromas of peach and lemon peel are immensely pleasant on the nose of this bottling. There is ample tension to the palate, which is awash in bold citrus flavors of lemon and grapefruit peel that cut into the apple flesh midpalate and guava-laced finish." —Matt Kettmann
