With bright lemon and peach fruits on the nose, this is very pure and elemental. There are also some crushed rocky notes and a flinty edge to be found here. A compose and discreetly complex chardonnay that really chisels with air. The palate has a very assertive core of acidity, the fruit remains fleshy and supple, the power and elegance are impressive and the citrus and cool stone fruit flavors close things off. - Nick Stock

A stunning vintage, the 2010 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay shows amazing depth and concentration, even for Mate's. Hints of nectarine and white peach marry beautifully with vibrant citrus on the medium to full-bodied palate, easing gracefully into a long, elegant finish. - Joe Czerwinski
