Heart Of Stone
Penfolds
Bin 311 Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2010
Mature cool climate Chardonnay. Penfolds Whites are starting to gain the reputation of their illustrious Red offering. After 6 years funk is replacing the Flint of a few years ago. Nice stone fruit notes and long. Enjoyable. — 10 years ago
Tenuta delle Terre Nere
Etna Bianco Carricante Blend 2011
Still a lovely bottle of wine, but strikes as having lost some intensity. Still this is all about the stone fruits, with a creamy richness. Nice, but drink up now... — 11 years ago
Clos Saron
Heart of Stone Sierra Foothills Syrah 2005
Just an amazing expression of Terroir, totally naked and brilliantly balanced, including dusty tannins and dito minerality, Syrah spice and a meat stock infused finish. Note to Self - Clos Saron rules! — 12 years ago
Cornerstone Cellars
Stepping Stone Cabernet Franc 2012
Vivid ruby red in the glass (think Dorothy's slippers) and opulent. Young, bright fruit, this wine is splendid and energetic. A touch of heat which could be the 14.7 alc, but I also didn't chill appropriately. Great balance, purity and finish, nice soft spice and hint of cigar box. I love that it's sub 1k cases, lovely wine. It would seem new GM at Cornerstone has taken over in superb fashion. — 10 years ago
Arianna Occhipinti
SP68 Bianco Terre Siciliane Albanello Muscat of Alexandria 2012
Floral nose, crisp with long stone fruit like finish
Very nice! — 11 years ago
Crocker & Starr
Stone Place Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
A medium + intensity of Black fruits (black cherry, black currants) dark chocolate, mint, tobacco and cedar. Nose and palate matching in flavor profile and complexity. Still tight and will just get better with age. — 12 years ago
Domaine Leflaive
Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 1996
Epic with fresh white flowers wet stones stone fruits gives way to terrific freshness and intensity. In the mouth lemon and saline dominate with loads of dry extract and a whip lash of a finish with some toffee notes lingering saline lemon and touch of honey . A great wine ! — 10 years ago
Trimbach
Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace Riesling
Pronounced Alsace Riesling with 8 years bottle aging. Powerful petrol nose and some developing honeyed notes. Lots of stone fruit and citrus flavour still. High acidity and medium (+) body. A long finish revealing a lot of grapefruit on the palate. #wsetschool — 11 years ago
Robert Sinskey Vineyards
Los Carneros Vin Gris of Pinot Noir 2013
The pale pink salmon color of this Vin Gris is a delight. The crisp stone fruit, pear and citrus is crisp and perfect with summer salads. This is a top shelf Rosé. — 12 years ago
