title: Stony Hill 2005 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
description: Here's one of those rare California Chards that needs time. The wine is tight, tough and minerally in its youth, with an austerity of flavors suggesting Meyer lemons, nectarines and flint. Bone dry and crisp, it should blossom between 2008 and 2015, with proper cellaring.
variety: Chardonnay
