The 2018 Stewart Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay opens with subtle hints of French oak shining through on the nose, both elegant and bright. Featuring more citrus flavors than previous vintages, this medium-bodied Chardonnay has flavors of lemon, lime, white peach, and apple. The palate is long and the finish highlights the French oak, circling us back to the beginning. As always, it pairs very well with food.
