2018 STONY HILL CHARDONNAY
"The last vintage produced by longtime winemaker Michael Chelini, the 2018 Chardonnay offers up bits of struck flint, a faint smokiness and hints of burnt custard, plus lemon and lime. It's medium to full-bodied, round and mouth-filling but also zesty, taut and long with gentle phenolics on the finish. With only about 10% new oak used in this wine's élevage, it's a bit of an anachronism within Napa Valley." Joe Czerwinski Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 points Drink 2024-35
