"Mount Eden's 2018 Chardonnay offers a fabulous interplay of richness and energy. A wine of linear intensity, the 2018 could use a few more years in bottle to be at its best, but it is super-impressive, even now, in what is very clearly the early going. Lemon confit, mint, orange peel, spice and light butter notes all build into the articulate, polished finish. This is such a classy wine. Give it a few years to come together."

Honeyed nut, tangerine peel and baked apple aromas show on the nose of this bottling. A zesty acidity enlivens the palate from front to back, carrying toasty flavors of pan-seared apple, cashew, sea salt and white flower.

Shows nutmeg, cardamom and a touch of clove, which add aromatic interest to the core of Fuji apple, lemon zest, pear pastry and creme anglaise flavors. Features fresh, vibrant acidity that brightens up the flavors on a sleek, juicy frame. Drink now. 975 cases made.
