Stewart Cellars, Sonoma Mountain (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2016

 Though based in Yountville in Napa, Stewart Cellars, a family-run winery established only in 2000, finds growers in Sonoma with whom to work.  I, for one, am glad they did.  This fine Chardonnay, for example, comes from the cooler Sonoma Mountain area, which likely explains, at least in part, its finesse.  Thankfully, not a powerful, ripe example of the varietal, this Chardonnay seduces you with a creamy fruitiness, length and a citrus-tinged finish.
