"Aromas of freshly cut Fuji and Granny Smith apples, stone fruits and white flowers lead to vibrant minerality and bright fruit flavors. The creamy mid-palate is framed by well-integrated French oak and lively acidity that carry through to a refreshingly long finish."

"The 2011 Stiling Chardonnay is a wonderful blend of floral, citrus, apple and mineral components wrapped into one. Lemon, tangerine and apple flavors combined with hints of Muscat are layered with an intriguing mineral element. Toasty French oak pairs nicely with the fruit, adding a creaminess that rounds out the middle palate and carries the flavors into a supple finish."
