James Suckling: 98 Points
So creamy, lush and full, a luxurious white that coats the palate with baked apples and pastry spices. Subtle acidity underpins the marzipan, poached pear and creme brulee flavors. Vanilla bean, lemon zest, cream and nutmeg expand in the finish.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2023 Chardonnay Stone Flat Vineyard is a wild, exuberant wine. Apricot, graphite, dried herbs, menthol and crushed leaves soar out of the glass. This dynamic, layered Chardonnay is lights- out gorgeous. There's a real feeling of viscosity that is so compelling. A wine of mid-palate creaminess and palate presence, the Stone Flat is outstanding.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2023 Chardonnay Stone Flat Vineyard opens with wafts of iodine and nori that give way to Meyer lemon and orange peel, saline and almonds. The medium-bodied palate is much more open at this stage. The mouth is flooded with mineral-laced flavors, and the racy acidity adds an irresistible tautness. It has a long, dynamic finish and should be long lived in the cellar.
