Incredible! Impeccable balance. Little more acid to this 17 . Perfect with the salmon I ordered.

Stone Côte is a small block within the Durrell Vineyard that sits in the path of an ancient, uplifted river bank at the base of Sonoma Mountain. Release price is $60. I paid $40 for a case. Thank you professional wine critics for missing this (WS88, WA88-90). Thank you local retailer who assumed it was over the hill and closed it out. I was hoping for a single, but instead hit a home run...
Knockout Sonoma Chardonnay. Caramelized peach, pear, apricot, and melon, with lemon meringue, wet stone, a mix of herbs, and a creaminess that any wine would envy. The finish reverberates with help from a ping of acidity. Just hitting its prime and will provide plenty of enjoyment for years to come.

13' Hartford Court Stone Cote Vineyard Chardonnay. Classic ... slightly heavy on the oak , well-balanced. Delicious! What's not to love.

Really held together well over 6 days in the fridge. Lemon, cotton candy, poached pear. Rich and delicious.

Good new world Chardonnay with decent amount of aging. Nice golden color at this age. White fruits, stones and that buttery creamy oaky notes carrying through to palate but very balanced with complexity and minerality coming forth in the finish. A sense of luxuriousness but not gawky and over gilded. Prime example of what California can do for this versatile grape. Easily bested the others (Nymers etc) AA 14 excellent value 495 cases. Single block within Durell Vineyard in Sonoma.
