Wine Advocate, February 2020,
Score: 91ptsThe 2017 Chardonnay Terraces was aged 10 months in 25% new French oak and grapes were harvested September 18 this year. It gives aromas of Red Delicious apples, pie crust, yeast, white blossoms and saline with touches of citrus pith and hazelnuts. The palate is light to medium-bodied and delicately styled with a pretty interplay of pithy fruits and honey-nut accents, finishing lifted and fresh. 136 cases produced. Erin Brooks. Drink 2020-2024

Eden Rift Vineyards

Under vine since 1849, Eden Rift is one of the oldest continually producing estate vineyards in California. A remote, pacific refuge located under the shadow of the Gavilan Mountain Range, the estate rests on the San Andreas Fault. Only 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean, this site benefits from an ideal, temperate maritime climate as well as the coveted calcareous soils requisite in the cultivation of vivid and energetic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Eden Rift's winemaker Cory Waller, spent time in Napa, Oregon and in Martinborough, New Zealand, and neighbouring Calera, before joining the team at Eden Rift. A man of few words, Waller favours the fruit of vines that struggle profoundly to produce small, yet delineated yields. He prefers to allow Mother Nature to do her thing.
