One of the nicer Kistler chardonnays I've had. Went very well with rich cheese and wild mushroom sauce. Although heavier and less focused than I prefer, the richness of multiple fruits and woods and long luscious finish made this a great component of an over the top meal.

Pop'n-pour at cellar temp. Cork was stained to almost half and broke but the wine was sound. It was bought on release and stored cold, 55F. I am still wowwed by this wine. Color is ayouthful pale yellow. Nose is complex with faint smoke like almost q reisling petrol smell. Age has brought the over the top oak and alcohol in balance with the fruit and minerality. Complex toffee on the finish. Outstanding 5+13+18+7

I continue to be so impressed by all of the 2003 single vineyard Kistlers.

An excellent Chardonnay that had a nice long finish and not over-oaked. Still going strong and no sign of oxidation.
