2016 Mount Eden Estate Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountain

(93 points)  The 2016 Chardonnay Estate opens with red pear and apple, spring honey, hay and fresh almonds with hints of orange blossom, lemon pith, stone, toast and white peaches. Medium-bodied with an intense fruit core, it offers lovely earthy/savory hints, with juicy acidity and a long, mineral-tinged finish. 1,176 cases produced. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 022020
