  Although I rarely drink big California Chardonnay, I make an exception for Kistler, and this vineyard specifically. The wine is huge in all aspects. Complex nose of honey, white flowers, tropical fruits. Long legs revealing 14.7 ABV. Full bodied and voluptuous on the palate, with pineapple, mango, guava. Extremely complex with enough acidity to balance it out. Better with some air. I am for the most part a Chablis drinker, but this wine with homemade crab cakes was a classic match. Quite enjoyable. Solid 94.

  Headed toward pre-mox. Second bottle in a week. Something seriously wrong. Purchased from the winery. I had another 2018 (Dutton) just to check and it was fine. if you have this wine I would try a bottle soon.

  14.7% abv. Aroma of stone fruit, white flower, honey, herb, nuts, smoke and citrus at first, then buttery scent gently passes by. Acidity, freshness, mineral, creamy and savory texture on palate is very nice already and well balanced. Long finish is a bonus.
