RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

Orange blossoms, nectarines, mint and white flowers...Hints of graphite, ash and crushed rocks give the Stone Flat an element of minerality and pure tension that is highly appealing...rich yet weightless, especially on the finish...

94Vinous / IWC

...Floral- and spice-accented aromas of Meyer lemon, orange and pear skin...Bright, penetrating citrus and orchard fruit flavors...notes of anise and poached pear. Rich but energetic chardonnay...excellent mineral-driven persistence.

92Wine Spectator

Intense and vibrant, featuring rich, pure layers of ripe pear, fig, apricot and smoke.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
