Jean-Pierre Wolff farms 55 acres of Chardonnay vines in the bucolic Edna Valley, outside the town of San Luis Obispo. Mount Eden has made Chardonnay from this vineyard (the oldest in the Edna Valley) since 1985. Antonio Galloni of Antonio Galloni’s Vinous rated this wine 91 points. “The 2020 Chardonnay Wolff Vineyard is fabulous, something that is all the more remarkable considering the freakish year. Orange confit, pineapple, butter, apricot, tangerine and spice are all dialed up in this decidedly exotic, lush Chardonnay from Mount Eden. The 2020 is not at all subtle, but it sure is delicious.” (Oct. 2022).

Chiseled flint, lemon blossom and lime balm aromas pop on the nose of this bottling, from vines planted in 1976. The palate is tightly woven, with pear flesh flavors spiked by grapefruit zest and tangerine peel.

The 2019 Chardonnay Wolff Vineyard is the hidden gem in this range, as it so often is. Silky yet deep, with impeccable balance, the Wolff Chardonnay bristles with nuance. Lemon confit, almonds, chamomile, apricot and yellow flowers all grace this classy, understated Edna Valley Chardonnay. Don't miss it.

Rich and savory, with notes of dried thyme to the ripe white fruit and spice flavors. The finish has plenty of custardy accents. Drink now through 2024. 3,994 cases made.
