Stonestreet Estate Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is consistently one of the most stone-driven wines from the mountains of the Alexander Valley. In 2012 it delivers those minerals alongside a strong citrus element. Tangerine and marmalade emerge first from the glass, opening to a palate that cascades through peach and ocean spray — all culminating in a finish with surprising grip and acidity.

Robert Parker | 93 Points. ‘The 2012 Chardonnay, made from Dijon clones, is the most tropical of these Chardonnays, revealing lots of pineapple, mango and a hint of bananas. A wet rock-like component provides minerality. It should drink well for 4-6 years.’ |
Vinous-Antonio Galloni | 92 Points. ‘Bright, light yellow. Sexy, slightly high-toned aromas of pineapple, mirabelle, orange zest and spices, plus a hint of caramel oak. Rich, bright and dry, with flavours similar to the aromas. Conveys an impression of density without weight. Not hugely complex but concentrated and seamless. The long finish features notes of sweet pineapple and liquorice.’ |
