Still young for my tastes but checking in on a go-to producer. Killer with King Crab Salad sandwiches 🥪
This bottle was a bit slow out the gate and needed some air to reveal the magic inside. This bottle was a pick up from Corti Bros when passing through Sacramento via Tahoe. Finesse, and beautifully prolific white wine structure all the way throughout.
Santa Cruz Mts represent!

A stupendous Chardonnay, the kind thats a shining example of what great CA chard can be. Slightly more advanced color than i might have expected, but the palate is full and rich with ripe lemon, a tropical note of passion fruit, and a very long mouthfilling finish. This is wide open for business and exuberant now -- I say drink up as I'm not sure the acidity or focus is there to expect much more improvement

MEV is a small estate located on a 2000-foot peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains and founded in 1942 by Martin Ray. Aromas of sweet stone fruits and honey spice. On the palate peach, sweet ripe apple and orange citrus with some nutty spice. Great balance with acidity sitting on a lingering finish ending with mineral tones. This 2013 is still young and a few more years will bring out the beauty of the wine. I'm putting a few bottles down.

Always one of my favorite CA Chardonnays. Layers upon layers of complexity and nuances. Superb balance and built to easily last another decade or more.
