July 27, 2013 - Medium gold in color, leesy, nutty, with lemon zest, herbs, and smoky oak notes. Tropical fruit and lemon more prominent on the palate, with a fairly long mineral driven finish. Quite nice.

May 23, 2013 - Drinking like an aged Burgundy, rich with nuts and dried fruit, medium mineral noted.

December 10, 2012 - Surprisingly good showing for an aged Kistler, as these wines have proven quite variable in their ability to hold up over time, even in a cold cellar. Really beautifully balanced with citrus, mineral, toasted brioche, tropical fruit, and caramelized nuts. More Burgundian in style but with a California flare.
