This was very nice. Impeccable, really. Beautiful nose, good density of ripe fruit, with a nice acidic lift and a hint of minerality. Not overripe, not overoaked. Very nice. However, didn't really excite me. This is my first of the 2007 Kistler chards. I love the 2006s - Kistler made hands down the best chards in California in a tricky vintage. With 2007 being a "better" vintage, I expected to be blown away. And I wasn't. But I suppose I shouldn't complain. (1 view)

Spicy black fruit and raspberry. Lively and rich at the same time. Tasty. (1 view)

Not as good as previous bottles, very acidic similar to a sav-blanc. Not the buttery well balanced oak mouth coating chard I remember. (3 views)

I agree with many of the comments, an unusual citrus aroma and flavor. Spritzy, acidic. Mid weight, mild tannins. Short finish. Very different. Probalby will become a bit tiresome, but hey for 8 bucks, not bad. (3 views)

Bordeaux red; nose: Leather, pencil; well structured, round, full-bodied but not heavy, perhaps a bit flat lacking excitement; still quite some tannin; good long aftertaste. Quite good (9 views)

Excellent wine. Dark ruby red and nice complex fruit flavors. Reminded me of a very good French Burgundy. Very good finish. Drinks very well now and probably could go a couple more years. (19 views)

Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of tobacco, smoke, pencil shavings, a bit of Kirsch, berries and light pepper notes. Later some a note of sandalwood. Solid flavors of black berries, black cherries and plums. Medium acidity, tannins and body. Drink or hold. (21 views)

This was a fabulous bottle of wine that showed glorious aromatics married with profound intensity and persistence and a deft balance. The flavors and balancing acidity wax and wane much like a Dvorak violin concerto, its high tone only apparent with oysters, musssels and sauteed halibut. What it currently lacks in supreme density is more than compensated for in its intensity and delineation. Easily the most profound white wine I've had and it's not done yet. (24 views)
