Chronic Cellars Stone Fox – A Natural Beauty

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: May 25, 2019

A lovely white Rhone blend from Paso Robles, the Chronic Cellars Stone Fox.

Chronic Cellars Stone Fox - A Natural Beauty

61% Grenache Blanc, 32% Viognier and 7% Picpoul Blanc from Paso Robles, California. The wine is aged in concrete tanks.

Sample submitted for review. The Chronic Cellars Stone Fox white blend has an SRP of $22 and is available for as low as $19.

From the bottle:

The stone fox will stop you dead in your tracks. No smoke and mirrors needed. Just sip back and relax.

Wishes in one hand, Chronic in the other.

15% Alcohol

The 2017 Chronic Cellars Stone Fox white blend begins with a lovely aroma of pear, melon, honeysuckle and hints of smoke and spice. Tasting the wine shows crisp acidity, a soft and smooth mouthfeel and flavors of lime, green apple and more melon along with touches of spice and tropical fruit. The wine ends with a long, dry lingering finish of melon and tropical fruits with the return of the honeysuckle notes from the nose bringing it all together.

This is delicately delicious stuff that carries its 15% alcohol extremely well. It’s also another good one from Chronic Cellars who we have been mightily impressed with.
