"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."
The Wine Advocate

“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.”

“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.”
