2019 Stony Hill Winery Chardonnay Spring Mountain District

Producer: Stony Hill
Region: Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2019

Crafted from Stony Hill’s iconic Spring Mountain District vineyard in Napa Valley, this 2019 Chardonnay offers an elevated drinking experience for connoisseurs seeking complexity and depth. With a foundation of mineral-rich soils and cool coastal influences unique to its elevated terroir, this wine delivers a distinctive saline undertone—a hallmark of Stony Hill’s signature style—that balances elegantly with its lush fruit-forward character. On first pour, aromas of toasted brioche and honeyed marzipan mingle with bright citrus hints reminiscent of satsuma oranges, creating an inviting yet sophisticated nose that sets it apart from more overtly oaky renditions of California Chardonnay.

The palate unfolds with velvety richness while maintaining crisp acidity—a testament to its balanced structure—making it equally enjoyable now or cellared for future savoring. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner or celebrating a special occasion, this wine pairs effortlessly with creamy cheeses, roasted poultry dishes, or even on its own as an after-dinner sipper. Its restrained alcohol level (13.5%) ensures approachability without sacrificing intensity or aging potential.

Stony Hill’s meticulous winemaking tradition shines through this bottling’s layered texture and nuanced finish. Unlike many bold New World examples, this Chardonnay stays true to its Old World roots with earthy minerality complementing ripe fruit flavors—a rare find among premium Napa Valley whites that makes it ideal for collectors or those seeking an exceptional value-driven wine experience.

Perfectly suited for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging due to its structured backbone and vibrant acidity—this bottle is crafted for discerning drinkers who appreciate wines that evolve gracefully over time while offering immediate satisfaction today.
