Sunset gold in the glass. Very slightly foggy. On the nose, wet limestone, lime and steel. On the palate, more rounded and a bit less acidic than most of the 2020 Kistler chardonnays I’ve tasted. Lime, green apple and peach/plum predominate. Finishes with a pleasing, slight bitterness. At its peak, I imagine. 94

Marine loam threaded with cobblestone soils Bottled since 2002. Located directly across from our Durell block, on the same marine loam threaded with cobblestone soils, but planted on a different rootstock. The Stone flat provides a leaner cut look at the same site. The two wines side by side make for a thought-provoking comparison. Produces a wine that strikes an impeccable balance between its minerality, its green orchard fruit reminiscent core and its silken, persistent finish.
