Melons, minerals. Broad feel. Tiny bit sweet. A lot of SO2.

Absolutely lovely. Snappy balance. Thought it was Austrian Riesling (again).

Petrol ⛽️ Petrol ⛽️ Petrol. Sublime and pure. Definitely the best Riesling producer in Napa and probably in the running for best in the Western Hemisphere. Will age indefinitely.

Hard to find a Stony Hill that I don’t connect with. A great terroir coupled with a cellar stuck in time = a unique side of Napa that very few miss. Foremost a wine of texture, fine extract that adds a powdered rock element across the palate, offering a slight grip. Melon skin, green apple, oro blanco pith, sweet tarts, starch, lemon balm, talcum, wet clay. It’s weight and power really emerges as it breathes and warms up.
