The nose of the 2018 Stainless Chardonnay opens with open-knit, inviting aromas of apples—green, yellow and red apple skin—with poached pears, baker’s yeast, crushed stone, hazelnut, fresh quince and lime blossoms. It’s light to medium-bodied with a rounded, silky texture and good core of fresh fruits, finishing with lively acidity and lift. I appreciate that this isn’t lean and mean! A balanced, generous stainless style of unoaked Chardonnay.
