Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 88.7 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 4 notes)

 Tasted by babnik on 10/22/2008 & rated 92 points: Roasted hazelnuts, butterscotch, fig, freshly baked lemon pastry, brown sugar, and a nearby campfire. I love aged Kistler chards and this deep golden-colored '95 was no exception. I liked it significantly more than some other CT tasters but it is time to drink these up. Also, not quite up to par with the '95 Sonoma Coast I had recently. (245 views)
 Tasted by ejca on 7/16/2007 flawed bottle: Cork screw drilled straight through the cork despite perfect storage conditions. (386 views)
 Tasted by matthen on 11/21/2006 & rated 87 points: The wine displays the appropriate colors for a 0 year old Chardonnay. The flavors of smoke, fig, pear and hazelnut come through to a muted finish. There is little vibrancy left in this wine and it was probably best about a year ago, however it is still very nice. (556 views)
 Tasted by winefool on 9/17/2005 & rated 87 points: HDH Pre-auction tasting (Chicago Athletic Club): Golden yellow color. Huge buttery butterscote aroma. Slightly bitter with somewhat hollow fruit. (493 views)

California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of ­different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of ­winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
