The 2018 Chardonnay Broken Road Vineyard is laced with expressive notes of graphite, lemon confit, chamomile, white flowers and apricot. A wine of focus and cut, the Broken Road is decidedly mineral and savory in style. It is one of the most distinctive wines in this range from Stonestreet.

The 2018 Chardonnay Red Point is rich, creamy and textured in feel. Apricot, lemon confit, dried flowers and graphite are some of the many aromas and flavors that open in the glass. The Red Point emerges from a slightly warmer exposure on the property, below the fog line, that seems to naturally produce wines with a bit more of an overt fruit profile relative to some of the other bottlings. A long, beautifully persistent finish adds to the wine's considerable charm.

The 2018 Chardonnay Gravel Bench Vineyard is a dense, inward wine. It is also one of the more closed wines in the lineup. This rugged site yields a Chardonnay of notable character, but not a lot of immediate appeal. Readers will find a Chardonnay that is intensely savory, mineral and structured. The 100% new oak is not all evident.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Hawkeye Mountain emerges from a single block in Alexander Valley perched at 2,400 feet in elevation. Inky dark fruit, crushed rocks, mocha, red cherry jam and flowers open with a few hours of air. This mountain Cabernet has much to offer.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Trace Ridge, from a site in Knights Valley, is fabulous. Inky, deep, and so expressive the 2018 offers up copious dark fruit laced with chocolate, savory herbs, blood orange, rose petal and spice. Ample and large-scaled, this dramatic Cabernet is showing so well today.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Outland Ridge, from a site in Anderson Valley, is one of the highlights in this range. It shows tremendous breadth and power from start to finish. Red/bluish fruit, spice and licorice lend quite a bit of complexity, but it is the wine's balance that is so compelling. All the elements are wonderfully knit together.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards is so expressive. The blend of sites (Far Coast and Sea Scape) works so well. Blood orange, spice, rose petal and succulent red cherry are all laced together in an open-knit, racy Pinot that will drink beautifully right out of the gate. It is unquestionably one of the better wines in the range. I loved it.

The 2018 Chardonnay Stone Côte Vineyard is a very pretty, airy wine that captures the more finessed side of Durrell, one of the most highly regarded sites in Carneros. Lemon peel, mint, white pepper and strong mineral accents give this lifted Chardonnay tons of character. This is an especially restrained style for the Stone Côte, a blend taken from four blocks at Durrell.

The 2018 Chardonnay Sevens Bench is rich, ample and so expressive. Apricot, tangerine oil, hazelnut and tropical accents all build in this creamy, resonant Chardonnay from Hartford. This is an especially unctuous style. And it works so well. The Sevens Bench emerges from site on the Sonoma/Napa border.

The 2018 Chardonnay Fog Dance Vineyard, from a site on decomposed sandstone, is lifted and very pretty, with terrific depth and striking balance. Tangerine oil, spice, mint, ginger and light butter nuances all open in the glass, framed by pretty floral accents that add an exotic flair.

The 2018 Chardonnay Far Coast Vineyard is sourced from a site in Annapolis four miles from the Pacific, at 1,000 feet in elevation. Readers will find an especially phenolic, structured Chardonnay laced with plenty of strong savory and mineral inflections. The Far Coast is a wine of notable complexity, although it is reserved and far less immediate than most of the wines in this range.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Jennifer's has terrific fruit presence. Bright red cherry, blood orange, pomegranate, mint and spice all open in the glass, but it is the wine's midpalate sweetness and pliancy that stand out most. I would cellar the 2018 for at least a year or two, as the tannins are a bit imposing.

The 2019 Zinfandel Jolene's Vineyard is laced with dark blue/purplish fruit, spice and lavender, all wrapped together by powerful, incisive tannins that need time to soften. Like all of these Zinfandels, the Jolene's is incredibly vivid and distinctive.

The 2019 Zinfandel Highwire Vineyard is gorgeous. Layers of bright, punchy red/purplish berry fruit race out of the glass. Forward and succulent, with tons of allure, the Highwire is so expressive today. Star anise, blood orange, white pepper and mint add an exotic flair to this distinctive and alluring Russian River Zinfandel.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Docker Hill from a site in Mendocino, is brisk, finely cut and full of character. Bright red/purplish fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and spice are all finely sketched. Deceptively medium in body, the 2018 has terrific energy and tons of class. It is a typically nervy Pinot from this part of Northern California.

The 2018 Chardonnay Bear Point Vineyard is wonderfully lifted and effusive. White flowers, apple, mint and lemon confit all grace this transparent, layered Chardonnay. This is one of the most understated Chardonnays I have tasted from Stonestreet. The Hyde/Wente clone in this iron oxide part of the estate yields a Chardonnay with striking floral presence and tons of personality.

The 2018 Chardonnay Estate is a blend of various blocks on the estate. Not surprisingly, it is a beautifully balanced, harmonious wine. Lemon confit, sage, mint, white flowers and tangerine oil all meld together in the glass. The Estate captures all the natural breadth and texture of this site, but in a smaller-scaled style vis-a-vis the single block bottlings.

The 2019 Chardonnay Cloud Landing Petaluma Gap is a wild, exotic wine. A whole range of tropical and floral-infused notes fill out the layers. This is an especially oily, viscous wine, but that richness is balanced by the energy and freshness that are such signatures of the Petaluma Gap.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Cloud Landing is a powerful, brooding wine. Blueberry, plum, sage, mint and a whole range of savory, cool-climate accents fill out the layers, with earthy, gamy notes beneath that add darkness.

The 2018 Chardonnay Three Jacks Vineyard is redolent of baked apple, lemon confit and hazelnut. Layered and unctuous in the glass, the Three Jacks is all charm. This Green Valley Chardonnay sure has a lot to offer.

The 2018 Chardonnay Jennifer's is a rich, explosive wine. A burst of unctuous fruit makes a strong opening statement. This oily Chardonnay packs a serious punch. Apricot, orange marmalade, pineapple and exotic flowers build into the textured finish.

The 2018 Chardonnay Seascape Vineyard is another potent, rich wine from the Sonoma Coast. Bright saline notes play off a core of unctuous, textured fruit. Apricot, pineapple, crushed rocks, mint and white pepper lend brightness to this potent, structured Chardonnay. The Seascape is sourced from a site next to Coastlands.

The 2019 Old Vine Chenin Blanc Jurassic Vineyard is gorgeous. Bright and savory, with tons of character, the Chenin is exquisite. Dried pear, mint, sage, anise and lemon peel are all laced together in a wine of striking beauty. I haven't always been impressed when Hartford ventures outside their Sonoma comfort zone, but this Santa Barbara Chenin in certainly a welcome addition to the range.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve is beautifully done. Deep, pliant and super-expressive, the 2018 has so much character. Iron, cedar, tobacco, menthol and licorice are some of the many notes that shape this inviting Sonoma Cabernet.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley) is another very pretty wine in this range. Bright red toned fruit, cedar, iron, sweet pipe tobacco and mint add a striking aromatic upper register to this mid-weight, highly nuanced wine. Firm tannins and the energy of this site at 2,200 feet in elevation extend the finish effortlessly.
