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.

Very Chablis-like. Citrus, saline, good body and length. Very good.

Incredible full-bodied chardonnay. Big and buttery on the nose with stone, poached pear and nutty notes. Bold richness on the palate with lots of mineral and stone notes. Touches of acidic peach notes are there as well. Finishes with long, smooth, buttery-rich finish.
