1974 Stony Hill Chardonnay

Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Sunday, March 24, 2024 - While not quite as youthful as the first bottle I had several months ago, this was still a stunner. Labeled as "pinot chardonnay," whatever that means. Medium gold color, with lemon curd, mineral and pear notes. Slight bit of sherry/nuttiness upon opening but not obtrusive and seemed to fade into the background with air. Nobody could believe this was a 50 year old wine, let alone a California wine. Picked up some creme brulee notes after a few hours. Unbelievable bottle, and I'm glad to have a few more because this may just outlive me!
