Description
Stony Hill from Napa's Spring Mountain District AVA is a newcomer to the BBR portfolio this autumn. Not necessarily what you'd expect from a Napa Chardonnay, there's certainly generosity and ripeness to the creamy citrus fruit, but it's held in check by a lively line of acidity. The palate unfurls in complex layers of chamomile, ripe pear, and lime zest, with spicy and floral notes. It is very fine, elegant, and precise.

Creamy and sophisticated. It's really quite impressive, with an undertow. Superior stuff with a beginning, middle and end. Chapeau!

Antonio Galloni 92/100
The 2019 Chardonnay is rich, creamy and super-expressive. Dried pear, spice, chamomile and spice all meld together in this gorgeous, distinctive offering. This is an especially earthy, savory Chardonnay, and a particularly dense style for here.
