93 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from the Wolff Vineyard in the coastal appellation, the 2023 Chardonnay offers outstanding value, balanced in acidity and medium-bodied weight, with a softness to the palate that has wide appeal. The producer has been making this wine since 1985, barrel-fermenting over eight months in all French oak, 20% new. There’s a wealth of stone and tropical fruit that gives it an instant likeability and easy introduction, while not shirking on complexity or depth. Drink now through 2033.
 
Winemaker Notes
The 2023 Mount Eden Vineyards Wolff Vineyard Chardonnay is a bright, textured Central Coast white. Sourced from the oldest vines in Edna Valley, it offers a beautifully balanced profile of crisp stone fruit, bright citrus, and toasted oak, finishing with a signature sea breeze minerality.
