Stonestreet 2007 Gravel Bench Chardonnay (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Gravel Bench
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Stonestreet / Alexander Valley

This is a first release from the winery’s estate vineyard, high atop the Mayacamas Mountains overlooking Alexander Valley. It’s intense and concentrated in pineapple crème brûlée, peach purée, green apple, honeysuckle and smoky sandalwood flavors, undergirded with a firm minerality. Delicious and compelling, and should develop over the next six years.
