Refreshing and full-bodied, the 2013 Stewart Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay has initial aromas of wet sandstone leading into a full bouquet of white peach and hazelnut. The rich palate boasts flavors of honeydew and nectarine with just the slightest undertone of apricot. Well-structured acidity and nuanced French oak give this wine great texture and length. Lovely upon first release with enough structure to age for years to come, this Chardonnay promises to be a welcomed addition to any meal or cellar.
Napa, CA- Lots to admire in this ripe, forward, multifaceted Cabernet, with a supple core of sweet, juicy ripe plum and black cherry shaded by a toasty mocha oak overlay and finishing with a long, sleek, complex aftertaste that refocuses on the vibrant fruit flavors.
This year’s Reserve Pinot Noir is a beautifully balanced wine that demonstrates a youthful nose with a mélange of ripe red berries, sweet tobacco, exotic spices and subtle oak notes. The palate is very refined and complex with a silky and seductive mouthfeel and a long lingering finish. Pair with baked salmon, braised ham, seared duck breast, Bouef Bourguignon and other stews and casseroles.
