Mount Eden, "Wolff", Edna Valley, 2020The history of California wine cannot be told without the famed estate, Mount Eden. Since the early 1900's vines have overlooked the Santa Clara Valley thanks to two American viticultural pioneers, Paul Masson and Peter Martin Ray. They are accredited with planting some of the first Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vine cuttings from Burgundy in California. Today California's newest trailblazers have set their eyes on expanding one of its most promising regions, the Edna Valley. In the bucolic Edna Valley lies the Wolff Vineyard planted to Chardonnay vines dating back to 1976. These old vines result in an expression that exudes lemon blossom, lime balm, and honeysuckle with a tightly woven palate of pear flesh spiked by grapefruit zest and tangerine peel to finish.
