Baileyana’s 2016 Stone Egg Chardonnay is the perfect balance of opulence and restraint. Enveloping aromas of apricot, peach pit, apple blossom, and dried lemon verbena spring from the glass. Luscious and full in the mouth, it’s brimming with stone fruit—fermentation and aging in a concrete egg has further graced this Edna Valley Chardonnay with dimension and a lovely textural component that serves to accentuate a pronounced acid backbone—one that gently terminates in a finish of peach pit and saline-tinged minerality. 14.2% ABV | Sample
