title: Mount Eden Vineyards 2014 Old Vine Chardonnay (Edna Valley)
description: From vineyards planted between 1973 and 1976 comes this more southerly bottling from the Santa Cruz Mountains-based winery. Pithy and clean, the nose matches kumquat and pomelo with a touch of smoked chicken flesh. The palate leads with a citrusy edge, showing pear flesh in the midpalate and Marcona almond toward the finish. It's mouthwatering with a very full texture.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Old Vine
