Wine Details
Price:
$23.00 per bottle
Description:
Pears, apples and subtle hazelnut on the nose with high fruit intensity and a slight mineral component on the palate exemplify Stonestreet’s Sonoma County Chardonnay.
Sonoma Valley, Carneros, Russian River and Alexander Mountain Estate provided wonderful Chardonnay fruit. Grapes from five outstanding vineyards were delivered as individual lots to the winery. After pressing, the juice was allowed to settle overnight and then racked into small oak barrels. Combining native and inoculated fermentation methods encouraged fruit-driven, nutty aromas and flavors with a supple texture and lasting finish. Fermentation in 100% French oak imparted spicy, toasty vanilla notes to the wine. A malolactic fermentation and aging sur lies, with monthly stirring, added to the rich feel and complex finish of the wine.
A big Chardonnay, somewhat Burgundian in style, this wine has flavors of tropical fruit, pear and apple wrapped in toasted French oak.
