Stonestreet Winery
Upper Barn Chardonnay
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Tropical fruit but while that might imply heaviness and oak, this is actually a really nicely balanced Chardonnay. Beautifully rounded in the mouth and a long graceful finish. It's all pleasure with the Stonestreet Upper Barn from 2017.
Incidentally, this is the first wine we've had since returning to Manhattan after five and a half months away. This bottle certainly helped smooth the edges on a fairly rough week of readjustment.

Kind of, well, meh. Expected greater minerality, glycerin, white fruit at this price point.
