Mount Eden

Vintage 2011 was not without its challenges at Mount Eden. Windy and rainy weather in June resulted in a poor set and lower than normal yields especially for Pinot, where yields were tiny, just 0.7 tons per acre. The wines are gorgeous, though, even if they lack the depth of the best years. I have seen the Mount Eden wines age exceptionally well over the years, so it will be interesting to see the paths these wines take. I remain convinced the Mount Eden Pinot Noir Estate and Chardonnay Reserve are among the greatest wines being made in California today. As usual, the Mount Eden Chardonnay spends about ten months in oak prior to being bottled, while the Reserve gets an additional six or so months in tank. Mount Eden fans will also want to check out the Domaine Eden wines, which deliver superb quality for the money.
