Winemaker Notes

"I believe this is going to be a great wine...it already is!" That’s what winemaker Mike Chelini says about our 2010 Chardonnay vintage. As always, it is pale straw. Its aromas carry a distinctive minerality backed by green apple, Muscat, and lemon zest. The mouth combines richness and acidity, and it's that balance of fruit and tartness that we always strive for in our Chardonnays: apples, lemon, and an earthy minerality that dominates the palate, followed by the long, delicate finish with that luscious Chardonnay fruit lingering on. The 2010 vintage reminds Mike of past vintages from his favorite vineyards #s 1 and 2, and he looks forward to pairing it with Michael Hildbold's prize-winning Mussels in Saffron Cream Sauce.

    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)

Stony Hill  Winery Image

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.
