It's beautiful today, but should evolve gracefully for at least 5-6 years. Looking at the 2013s from Jeffrey Patterson, these are serious wines that need to be on your short list for purchasing, and both the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are in the top handful of wines in the appellation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Taut and vibrant, the 2013 Chardonnay is one of this winery’s finest. The lifeblood of owners Jeffrey and Ellie Patterson, this tiny winery in Saratoga is one of California’s underappreciated treasures. Mount Eden is a labor of love, producing small amounts of Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Chardonnay comes from two shy-bearing parcels on the mountaintop, giving a mix of ripe and structured cuvées that spend a year in French oak and undergo full malolactic fermentation. The wines are styled to age for 10 years or longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wine__content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mount Eden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21200169030,"sku":"6722115654","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/products\/mount_eden_2010_estate_chard_85558961-4726-4523-a887-c3abbf09ea5e.jpeg?v=1771365270","url":"https:\/\/brix26.shop\/products\/mount-eden-estate-chardonnay-santa-cruz-mountains","provider":"Brix26","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
