94 Points - fantastic buy New Chardonnay release from Mount Eden's Domaine label. 94 Points Wine Enthusiast: "This more affordable cousin to the Mt. Eden brand is just as good, though different. It presents dairy aromas of brie cheese rind and yogurt but in a deliciously approachable way, with diced chives, caramelized pear and citronella elements. The palate shows tremendous energy, with lots of lime and lemon pith, but also a sour-cream richness." The blend this year was 60% from Mount Eden's estate vines and 40% from Domaine Eden. The grapes were picked by hand and crushed within three hours of harvest, barrel-fermented in Burgundy barrels and aged on the lees for ten months. This wine is icy clean, vibrant and mineral in style with flavors of citrus zest, quince and spring flowers. For lovers of precision and delicacy in the expression of Chardonnay, this is it.

Super elegant and on the lighter side. So Pratty and delicious. Sometimes we like this better than Mt. Eden.

Domaine Eden Chardonnay 2016: Excellent minerality. High acidity. Apple. Lemon. Stone. Oak. Butter. A long, medium-dry finish. All in all, this is pure elegance from my local Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. Cheers
