  Still shows a lot of fruit. Well balanced with enough acidity. Excellent.

  Agree w previous note.
  Dark colour.
  Ripe fruit and minerality on the nose.
  Didn’t personally get the barnyard but the terroir goes up the nose during a medium length finish.
  One of the best vineyard experiences of all these wines of the early mid 2000’s.

  Sad to see this go. It was a gorgeous chardonnay that reminded me of white burgundy much more than California chard. Mineral and some america oak, but not buttery. Almonds, pineapple, flint. It complimented a smoked pork tenderloin very well and managed to blend with a fresh bruschetta. Still great color, this didn't look or taste old.

  Nice enough, if a bit blousy.

  This wine has aged better than most of the 2006 kistlers and his still holding up well. Lovely flavors of tangerines, white peaches, flowers and butterscotch. Showing lots of complexity now and still retaining decent medium bodied structure.
