2011 Stony Hill Vineyard Chardonnay, Napa Valley with some dusty tanninsWhat we find truly unique about this vintage is the wine's ability to retain its crispness while presenting a slight creaminess on the palate. We've been amazed that the 2011 vintage, even though from a difficult year with May rain and a cool summer, has proved to be a quintessential Stony Hill Chardonnay.
