2015 | Stonestreet | Upper Barn Chardonnay

Ripe stone fruit, pear and apple prevail on the nose with subtle hints of custard and vanilla. This hedonistic nose is balanced by a good acidity on the palate leading to a fresh finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Chardonnay Upper Barn Vineyard opens with lovely grapefruit, fresh pears and apple pie notes with touches of croissant and toasted almonds plus a waft of brine. Medium-bodied, very elegant and very refreshing, the palate and a wonderfully mineral character and long, beautifully nuanced finish.

• Vinous: The 2015 Chardonnay Upper Barn is lifted, airy and gracious, with expressive floral notes that add freshness. Melon, orchard fruit, white pepper and mint all add an attractive aromatic upper register. This is an especially weightless style for Stonestreet.

Producer Information

Stonestreet Estate Vineyards is a California wine producer in Sonoma County's sub-appellation Alexander Valley. It is best known for its range of single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines. Stonestreet was founded by Jess Jackson in 1989, after the purchased of the Zellerbach winery. Jackson was the founder of the major distributor Jackson Family Wines and was half of the namesake for the brand Kendall-Jackson. The estate vineyards comprise roughly 400 hectares (1000 acres) on a undulating property within the foothills of the Mayacamas mountains. Vineyards are planted across the property and range in elevation from 400 to 2400 feet (120-730m) above sea level. The significant difference in elevations, vine-spacing, and various aspects and exposures of the plots mean the estate has an array of mesoclimates. Individual plots demand different farming practices dictated by the specifics of the vineyard site. Stonestreet has multiple ranges within the wineportfolio. The Single Vineyard collection is sourced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay whilst the Estate collection includes varietal wines from multiple estate vineyards. The Library Wines is a selection that have aged in the cellar for at least ten years.
