The 2021 Chardonnay Old Stones pours a brilliant pale yellow/green-tinged hue and is pure and fresh in the glass with notes of pristine ripe green apples, citrus blossoms, and lemon balm. Medium-bodied but rounded and pretty, with a silky texture, it has fresh salinity, ripe acidity, and an energetic and floral finish. This comes primarily younger vines and the blocks that do not go into the Sigrid. Drink 2024-2034.

Creamy in texture yet vibrant in racy acidity, this medium-bodied wine is balanced to a tee and ready to enjoy now or saved for the short term. Offers tangy lemon zest, crisp green apple and delicate lactic accents along with mild oak spices. Drink now or hold.

The 2021 Chardonnay Old Stones has inviting aromas of baked apples, quince paste, dried acacia, matchstick and gravel dust. The light-bodied palate is most notable for its concentrated fruit and luxurious, mouth-coating texture. Its generosity is balanced by vibrant acidity, and it has a long, honey-nut finish.

The 2021 Chardonnay Old Stones wafts up with a spicy, citrus-driven bouquet of lemon oils, hints of mint and crisp green apple. Luxuriously smooth with a pleasant inner sweetness, it flows across the palate with seductively ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices. It concludes with incredible length and potency, yet amazingly fresh with a lingering sapid fruit concentration. For all of the ripeness in this glass, the 2021 finishes with zero grams of residual sugar. What a darling. -- Eric Guido
