COMMENTARY: The 2010 Stony Hill Chardonnay is in the in-between stage now where is starting to show age complexities. TASTING NOTES: This wine is bright with mineral notes and green apple in its aromas and flavors. Enjoy it with pan-fried snapper with a light ginger sauce. (Tasted: February 21, 2020, St. Helena, CA)

If Stony Hill wines had to be characterized in one word, it would be balance. The McCrea family aims to achieve a balance between the intensely flavored fruit from its hillside vineyards and the notable acidity that gives the wine structure and the aging potential for which it's been known for more than five decades. The winery's goal is simply to translate the intense fruitiness of our grapes into elegant, food friendly wines. To that end, grapes are crushed and pressed with minimum skin contact and fermented in neutral oak cooperage. The wine is aged in neutral oak barrels, most of which are over ten years old, allowing the wine to develop and mature without absorbing an oak flavor component that could mask the natural fruit flavors.
