Damiani Wine Cellars Standing Stone Farms Chardonnay 2024 Review

Originally from Hector, N.Y., founders Lou Damiani and Phil Davis saw potential for wine in the Finger Lakes region long before it found acclaim on a national scale, planting their first vines in 1997.  The two are part of the fabric of this community, and this Chardonnay is further proof of their pioneering spirit. This particular cuvée is sourced from a single vineyard at Standing Stone Farms on the east side of Seneca Lake. This block was planted in the 1970s, and presents in a distinct shorter vine size, leading to concentrated fruit. The wine offers ripe orchard fruit, juicy citrus, hints of salty butter, and a crisp river rock minerality. The mouthfeel is calm and focused, with acid and fruit existing in harmony.
