WTN: Another Stony Evening

2016 Stony Hill Chardonnay - USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District (2/27/2024)
I don’t have a ton of experience with Stony Hill Chardonnay, so not sure what to expect, but this was delicious in just about every way possible. Saline, fruity, slightly spicy, rich yet vibrant, and very long, it hit pretty much every note I could want. There’s plenty of freshness and depth for several more years of age, so my other bottle may sit a while just to see what happens with significant time. Glad to have a small stash of Stony Hill.

Well, you got everything you should have expected from a 7 yr old Stony Hill chardonnay. Just imagine the profundity more age will bring.

Yep. Now I need to be patient...or just "lose" my other Stony Hill bottles

Good notes. One of the classics of Cali Chardonnay.
