The 2018 captivates with aromas of orange blossoms, jasmine, and candied pineapple, evolving as it opens. Full on the palate, the unctuous mouthfeel is brilliantly supported by the wine's natural acidity, leading into a long finish that showcases the traditional minerality and freshness of Stanly Ranch. Enjoy now and over the next 10+ years.

Starting with the 2018 Chardonnay Silhouette, this medium gold-hued beauty boasts a terrific nose of caramelized stone fruits, Meyer lemons, white flowers, brioche, honeysuckle, and a kiss of green almond. It's a rich, medium to full-bodied Chardonnay with wonderful overall balance, nicely integrated acidity, background oak, and an incredible sense of richness balanced by plenty of freshness. It's going to keep for 4-6 years, if not longer.

Made from estate grapes as well as fruit from other prominent sites, this wine opens in a mix of matchstick and fresh hay. Nutty brioche and stone-fruit accent a succulent and luxurious core of richness and weight, with a lasting lift of acidity.
