1998 Chardonnay
I found a nice one for only $21US at Whole Foods:
1998 Mount Eden "Cottonwood Canyon Vineyard". The fruit is Santa Maria appellation, Santa Barbara County. I well remember the vintage, since I made a couple of barrels of Chardonnay that year. It was so good that it was virtually gone within the following year! I'm not saying that to toot my horn; it was simply an excellent vintage for the region, and I managed to do justice to it. When I saw the Mount Eden on the shelf, I knew I had to try it. I was not disappointed. Mount Eden has always done a very good job of producing Chardonnays of depth and character. The wine is golden in the glass with fully evolved butterscotch in the nose and a perfect marriage of tropical fruit and oak on the full, rich palate. I may have to go back and clean out the bin. :^) Tom S |
