Rich and lush. Honeyed with confit lemon and a piercing intensity. Decent acidity. Pretty powerful.

Classic SH, these wines really take on a personality of their own, especially with age. This was all about the non-fruit and earthy notes for me, combined with the blocked malo style makes these zip well into their life. I did find this to be showing a little more oxidation than LBT, giving a slight imprint of fatigue on the wine. Dried apple, bruised pear, kiss of honey, apple blossoms, wet clay, mushrooms.

Take a step back in time in mike’s cellar. First time up to Stony Hill and we’re neighbors for goodness sake! Fell in love

For the last couple years I've always been too busy working to go to bottlerock. So i started "side by side weekend" where I open up a couple different vintages of the same wine. Gives me something to look forward to everyday after sitting on highway 29 for an hour and a half just to get home

Still a young wine by Stony Hill standards and I see upside potential.
94+ pts.

Wow. Beautiful wine - had the '86 a few weeks ago but this current release (yet 7 years old) is amazingly powerful without the traditional Napa big chard flavors of butter and oak. Instead, you get a build of spices, preserved tropical fruit and great acidity.
