My new Favorite white, just love mountain fruit! Named for mountain range dividing Napa & Sonoma, old stone winery dug into side of dormant volcano crater in 1889, remained in production ever since. Pale lemon with aromas of Tropical and stone fruit with complex spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and citrus with light oak and nutty tones, fresh and vibrant, well integrated. Long finish ending with fruit and flinty mineral characteristics. Long aging potential. Nice!

I think the best mountain Chardonnay from Napa. Always quality and well made, great fruit and acidity.

My contribution to the event. Crisp and lighter than expected. Well made, but I think this needs more time.

A little bit too much oak, but still crisp with good acid. 2017 vintage was definitely better.

Ok. Feel like it can't decide what it wants to be. Clean, fruit, dry, oak, steel... ? Good but confused
