Jan 12th, 2019Beautiful color. Light and bright. Yellow apple, pear, mealy mellow stone fruits. Low acid when cold, more acidic when room temp. A light creamy flavor when chilled, not so creamy at room temp. Delicious.

We served a magnum of this with seafood next to a magnum of Rombauer, so folks could have a two very clear and contrasting choices. Stony Hill Chardonnay is in many ways the anti-Rombauer: steel tanks instead of oak, crisp and clean instead of round and buttery, a food wine meant to be paired instead of a solo act. Nicely balanced with notes of apple, grapefruit and minerals. Bought this magnum at a St. Vincent’s Meals on Wheels fundraiser at Petrossian Restaurant and enjoyed it a few weeks later at the Water Grill in downtown LA at a festive retirement dinner.
