Standing Stone Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay

This 2005 vintage Finger Lakes Chardonnay which retails in the $17-20 range, is overpriced by about 3 bucks, has a soft nose with a bit of butter and hints of hazelnut and pignoles (pine nuts)matched with a layer of Oak. The creaminess coats the entire palate giving way to ripe fruit with enough acid and tannins to deliver a strong but not overbearing finish. GOOD
