November 1, 2015 - Still golden color that makes Kistler appealing, but fruit muted and wine no longer terribly interesting. Waited a few years too long.

June 12, 2015 - Held up a little better with nice hue and balance. This has lost a fair amount of its appeal and should not be saved any longer.
