Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Chardonnay from Stonestreet opens with a fragrant pineapple, oak, and dried coconut flake bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with nicely integrated minerality. The mouthfeel is very smooth and balanced. The flavor profile is a tasty pineapple and oak blend with notes of honey and Bartlett pear. I also detected hints of butter and mango in the aftertaste. The finish is dry, and its flavors linger and last for a very long time. This Chard is best enjoyed on its own and it will not last very long with a group that like this style of Chard! Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: As a blend of our best Chardonnay vineyard sites, the Estate bottling is always one of the most compelling illustrations of our mountain estate. The 2018 Estate Chardonnay exhibits notes of caramel apple and pineapple upside down cake with subtle salinity. The rich and round palate is highlighted by fresh tropical fruits, salted caramel, and a clean inviting finish.
