  Honestly my least favorite so far of the 2019 kistler release. A lot of salinity that seems to mask the fruit, acidity is not high. Of course this is a good glass, and many houses would dream of making something this good, but I prefer other bottles from this release

  Pushing the envelope on concentration and ripeness, but packed with body, viscosity, tropical fruit flavors, and complexity. Could’ve used a touch more acidity but not complaining. Definitely in the drinking window. Cheers:)

  Nose of pear, melon, and a hint of cat urine. Flavors of pear and an undercurrent of slate with a sharp acidic backbone. Not buttery as some Chardonnays can be, but crisp and refreshing.

  Great acidity and balance Very concentrated flavors with an incredible nose. Still has a touch of a bitter grapefruit pith in far background which I suspect will be gone in the next year

  Quite rich on the nose with stone fruit and caramel. The palate is another story with some zesty fruit that defies the nose. Ripe, but not overdone. Drinking well on PnP.
