Stonestreet
About Stonestreet
Located in the Alexander Valley AVA of Sonoma County, Stonestreet Estate was established in 1995 by the proprietaries of Jackson Family Wines, Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke, and took the middle name of the Jackson family. One of the crown jewels of their single vineyard range, the Upper Barn Chardonnay comes from the oldest vines from the estate, planted way back in 1982 at an altitude of about 550 meters. Yields are low, resulting in a brilliant and full-bodied Chardonnay that has won critical acclaim from critics across the board, including the great Robert M. Parker Jr.
“Stonestreet is becoming an excellent source for small lots of Chardonnay, although the basic Alexander Valley cuvee is very plentiful (6,500 cases). The single vineyard offerings (between 120 and 350 cases produced of each) are impressive efforts that are more similar than dissimilar since they all come from single vineyard lots, are aged in 50% new French oak (except for the Gravel Bench), and spend 11 months on their lees before bottling.” – Robert M Parker Jr. (Wine Advocate)

Wine Advocate (97+)The 2016 Chardonnay Upper Barn Vineyard comes from the oldest vines on the estate, planted in 1982. Fermented in barrel and aged for 11 months in 47% new French oak, it is a little closed to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal pink grapefruit, white peaches and Granny Smith apples with nuances of honeysuckle, lemon tart and praline. Medium to full-bodied, it explodes in the mouth with citrus and savory layers, with a gorgeous silkiness and loads of ginger and mineral sparks coming through on the finish. Wow! 813 cases produced. |
