(11/3/2018) "Stunning depth, power, purity and elegance. The blackcurrants and plums are fresh and intense on the nose with blueberries and gently herbal notes, too. The palate has a keenly articulated array of vibrant tannins that hold long, fresh and pure. It invokes a sense of wonderment at the finish. So long and so pure. This blend of 77 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 11 per cent merlot, seven per cent petit verdot and five percent cabernet franc, is just at the start of a wonderful journey. Try from 2021."

Arnot-Roberts "Fellom Ranch" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
95
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(3/2017) "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Fellom Ranch, from a site in the Santa Cruz Mountains, is savory, deep and quite powerful. Dried herbs, sweet red cherry, flowers and mint open up nicely in the glass, but it is the wine's mountain structure and purity that stand out most. Even so, there is more than enough to the fruit to play off the tannins. All three 2014 Cabernets are superb, but the Fellom has perhaps just a bit more pedigree and complexity than the Clajeux and Montecillo. Drink 2022 - 2034."

(5/31/2018) "The 2014 Pinot Noir Estate from Mount Eden is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of red cherries, potpourri, mountain laurel, forest floor and cinnamon. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, ample and layered, with velvety tannins, succulent acids and lovely length and grain on the tangy finish. Follow this young classic for the next 15 years. Drink Date: 2018 - 2033."

Mount Eden Vineyards "Estate" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2014
96
Wine Advocate
(5/31/2018) "The 2014 Chardonnay Estate from Mount Eden is terrific, offering up a youthful bouquet of buttered apples, pear, toasted nuts and brioche that reveals more and more nuance as it sits in the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, pure and racy, with a satiny attack, deep core and bright acids. The finish is long and mouthwateringly chalky. This is one of the best recent releases of the Estate Chardonnay, and it comes warmly recommended. Drink 2019 - 2034."

(6/15/2019) "A big, rich and showy white, filled with spicy notes to the ripe apple, pear and wild herb flavors. Minerally and buttery accents emerge on the contoured finish. Drink now through 2024."

Arnot-Roberts "Trout Gulch" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2016

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(4/2018) "The 2016 Chardonnay Trout Gulch is wonderfully polished, nuanced and transparent. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and chalk notes give the Trout Gulch its distinctive, bright flavor profile. In some years, the Trout Gulch has leaned towards the more austere of the Chardonnay spectrum. The 2016 has all the energy of the more tightly wound vintages, but with a bit more textural resonance that is the result of the wine having spent more time on its lees during aging. Drink 2020 - 2026."

(2/14/2019) "I always love this Chardonnay from winemaker Jeffrey Patterson. The 2015 Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains comes from an estate just south of Mount Eden that was purchased by Jeffrey in 2007. This wine is always a mix of both estates (Domaine Eden and Mount Eden) and also gets a touch of purchased fruit. The 2015 has wonderful freshness and purity, with vibrant white flowers and caramelized citrus, medium body, lots of salinity, and a pure, clean, age-worthy style. It can be drunk any time over the coming decade or more. Maturity: 2018 - 2028."
