Green Apple on the nose; limestone and toasted caramel. Sea salt and a little bit of marzipan on the palate but certainly not as savory as the ‘12 McCrea last weekend. More tropical fruit like with mango! Holding up surprisingly well with crisp acidity. Not getting any better, enjoy now! — 7 years ago

Excellent blend of two of my favorite wines. Possibly my new favorite. — 10 years ago
I confess I had my doubts — I mean, 9-year old Washington Counoise, right? — but this is some damn fine grape juice... lush and solid, just like my prom date. — 10 years ago
A complex one, at this age. Might have needed decanting, because it improved in the glass, but there's a lot more fruit than structure, so... — 12 years ago
Not bad. Either this one is asleep or just made more on the timid side. Pear and herbs. Acidic from start to finish. Middle has a bit of mushroom and a sweet, almost semi-tart character. Nice, but probably not a wine to drink with heavy foods. Even a really funky cheese would probably overpower this wine. Aubert 14 Eastside and 11 Kistler McCrea crushed this one quite easily. — 7 years ago
Stony Hill Vineyard was founded in 1943 when Fred and Eleanor McCrea bought a goat ranch on Spring Mountain in Napa. Today the winery is run by son Peter McCrea, still is best known for Chardonnay. Aromas of stone fruit and citrus. On the palate apple, melon and pear flavors, with some lemon zest and toasty notes. Nice balance with acidity on lingering finish on a gently spicy rich mineral ending. Classic CA Chard, very nice! — 8 years ago
Cena de Enrique Olvera, salida con parejas. Insisto el mejor vino de Mexico. Nose and taste ....Napa — 11 years ago
I don’t know if I really like this or if I really don’t like it. Initially I thought it was subtle, simple and without character. It opened up nicely and was pleasant in the end to drink. Nothing overbearing. A hint of white pepper, lemon zest and elderflower on the nose. A shocking buttery texture with an off dry and light acidity finish. Paired it with grilled corvina fish. Wasn’t too bad. I would try again — 7 years ago

Christmas Eve wine for the Osso Buco. Started with Kistler 2010 McCrea. — 10 years ago
Kinda stunning. 12 years old, sturdy, big and bold. Good fruit. — 10 years ago
I think the Judge is an extraordinary Chard. Great balance with a minerality that is more classic White Burgundy than Calif Chard. Along with Kistler McCrea and Peter Michael, among my favorite Cali Chards — 10 years ago
