October 25, 2019 - Winemaker Notes
Produced since 1986. Just shy of 1800 feet in elevation, in a small bowl on the western edge of the Mayacama mountains lies the original Kistler planting. Thirty year old vines grow dry farmed in deep red volcanic ash, producing a wine with an intense sense of the mountain heritage of the delicate stone fruit that is lifted, like its McCrea cousin, yet firmer, and with a stronger core and added layers of richness.
Critical Acclaim

A rich, creamy, seamless style, with a vibrant core of honeydew melon, nectarine and white peach, shaded by light oak. A well balanced wine of dimension and complexity. -

May 25, 2019 - PnP. Jaune pâle. Nez discret. Bouche peu inspirante. Finale un peu amère. On verra dans 6heures mais pour l'instant, je comprends mal les notes sur ce vin. 88-89pts. Après 5-6heures, le vin est plus rond. Un peu de miel en bouche et le finale s'adoucit grandement. En carafe la prochaine fois. 89-90pts

April 4, 2018 - Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & expansive nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, lemons/limes & pineapples with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, wet stones, minerals, roasted hazelnuts, buttery, smoky/toasty oak & a hint of vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of apples, lemons/limes & pineapple with minerals, spices, toasty oak & a touch of vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present. Although it should hold at its current plateau of development for a while, I don't think any significant further development would occur with additional aging.
