tes de Nuits Villages show cases the delicate nuances the Pinot grape is loved for while deftly retaining the power and strength in flavor and countenance that make it such the perfect pick for the variety of foods and flavors experienced during the last few months of the North American calendar year; i.e., the holidays.

in the way it captures the essence of the Santa Cruz Mountains and the house style. Sweet dark cherries, flowers, mint and herbs caress the palate. There is a purity of fruit that is stunning in its beauty. Partial use of whole clusters (20%) gives the wine much of its fragrance, but ultimately the Domaine Eden bottling is all about class. At $35 it represents one of the very finest buys in Pinot Noir from anywhere, including the hallowed vineyards of Burgundy. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020."
Mount Eden is one of California’s first truly boutique wineries. After prohibition, a gentleman by the name of Martin Ray began producing wine from this area using obscure grapes such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at a time when inferior grapes were the norm. His wines quickly became known as being some of the best in the state. He then sold that property, and purchased a superior site “just up the hill”. That new property is Mount Eden, and to this day, some of those Mount Eden Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are some of the best California has ever produced!

Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir) that are drawn from the winery’s second pressing and finished off with 90 days aging on the yeast.

The palate is lithe and glossy and delivers a pleasing play of orchard and citrus fruits that are gently bridled with acidity. The dosage is on the sweeter end of the Brut range which gives this fizz broad appeal. It’s a great call for Sunday brunch or casual get-togethers.
