Stoney Ridge Single Vineyard (Butlers' Grant) Reserve Chardonnay 1995


Stoney Ridge Single Vineyard (Butlers' Grant) Reserve Chardonnay 1995

This wine explains perfectly why Stoney Ridge was Margaret Anne's favorite Niagara winery 10 years ago (we haven't had any new Stoney Ridge wines recently, so can't say if that's still true). It has nice tropical fruit, characteristic of Stoney Ridge Chardonnays in the 1990s; just a little oakey, a touch of pineapple, a touch of vanilla, quite dry. Lovely, lovely, lovely. Our rating: 8.5/10.
