Place-y with a lot to say. Interesting but not particularly well-knit. — 12 hours ago

Quite earthy of this stage. Charcuteries, ripe raspberries, liquorice, wet rocks. Lacks a bit of youthful energy. — 5 months ago

I joined this white wine blind tasting session for a taste of the illustrious Chard duo from Catena Zapeta, despite knowing full well that white wine condition in my area has a pretty lacklustre record; and I’m pretty glad I did. The White Stones, thankfully, was [mostly] singing. Yes, there was a touch of honey and musk in the back end, but I felt it didn’t distract from the general message. Perhaps the reticent winemaking style here helped give it a little more resilience against the arduous travel. On the nose, there was nearly no fruit at the start - just sulphurous, flinty aromas. It does eventually yield to heavy swirling in the glass, revealing some pear and nutty notes. The palate was textural, sharp, and mineral. In fact the name could not be more apt. It was like licking stones, all covered in salt, lime juice and chopped sage. I really enjoyed it, but the wine that could have been still lingered on the back of my mind. One to revisit for sure. — 7 months ago

Kinda feel for the price these should be doing better.

@Norman Gennaro First go round with this producer. Unimpressed but I can say that about nearly every Johnny Come Lately in Napa.

Yeah they have a huge winery and I kinda recall seeing a picture of that rock formation on the label being in the front of it. Not small

Fun wine, extended skin contact - looks like a Rose and tasted like one too: mix between tart red fruit & savory notes, some potpourri, fairly exotic. Palate was bit more austere, open canvas for variety of light fare. We had huge salad w/smoked salmon and it was fantastic. Balanced and dry finish, go find some Georgian wine! — 4 months ago
