  This is my favorite Kistler chardonnay. The glass exudes elegant power that penetrates the palate. Tropical fruits and white stone fruits integrate beautifully with a vibrant fresh-squeezed citrus juice acidity. A smooth crushed rock minerality gently corrals the flavors of the palate down the throat into a bright and lengthy finish.
  
  The wine balances out and hits its peak after a few hours of opening. Excellent with items ranging from charcuterie to baked fish to sashimi.

  This bottle, purchased upon release and cellared under ideal conditions, is oxidized and also has notes of VA and TCA. Very disappointing.
