2017 Domaine Eden Chardonnay, Mount Eden Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountains

2017 Domaine Eden Chardonnay, Mount Eden Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountains

2017 was a great vintage for Mount Eden and the Domaine Eden Chardonnay shows this beautifully. Aromas of ripe stone fruit, peach blossom and California almonds reach out from the glass. On the palate the fruit continues to delight, accompanied by a rich, creamy texture. A hint of struck match on the lengthy finish rounds off this brlliant Californian Chardonnay.

Tasting notes

The 2017 Chardonnay from Domaine Eden is blend of 64% Domaine Eden fruit and 36% Mount Eden estate fruit. The nose is driven by ripe orchard fruits with earthy accents of hay, almonds and beeswax. The palate is silky with plush fruit lit up by a mineral streak and bright acidity, and it finishes long and uplifted. 1,942 cases produced.

The 2017 Chardonnay is absolutely gorgeous. Apricot, tangerine oil, butter and light tropical accents give the 2017 striking exotic character that match its rich oily personality so well. This is a decidedly extroverted wine from Domaine Eden, but it all works so well. There is a feeling of immediacy and allure that makes the 2017 impossible to resist. The Domaine Eden Chardonnay is a blend of declassified barrels (64%) and lots from the Domaine Eden property itself (36%), aged in 2-5 year old wood.
