Alright, I'll bite: what exactly is a "stonefruit" in this context? Google just says "fruits with large seeds that are basically rocks in the middle", which I suspect is not the pseudo-intellectual flex your boss is going for?
No, that's it. But it's every single wine she tastes. They don't all have stonefruit notes!
Peach, plum, cherry, apricot, pluot.... and it goes on extensively. There are lots of different stonefruits out there all with very different flavors.
Tangentially related there's an artist that has been trying to make a tree with the most diverse number of storefruit producing branches grafted onto it.

Sure, but she just says "stonefruits", not any specific one. shrug
Lol. Grapes. Wine smells like grapes.
It is a great experience to have someone explain to you what you should smell, taste, etc. when you are drinking a wine varietal, but apart from that everything else is just fluff & marketing.
I work in the grape wine industry but at home I make fruit wines. I always crack up when someone says this grape wine tastes like cherries or blueberry.
That's the fun thing about food (and wine especially). You don't need to have the ingredient present for it to taste like that ingredient. I made chocolate chip cookies once that tasted like bananas, and I most definitely didn't add bananas to them.
