December 29, 2022 - I opened two bottles that I purchased from the winery. Perhaps they went bad when they were transported home, but I doubt it. They were stored in my cellar on their sides, but both had dry, deteriorated corks and the wines were bad. It wasn’t just one bottle of expensive Chardonnay, but two!!!

April 29, 2022 - At first, it had an atypical nose for a Kistler Chard, with a very earthly component. After about an hour, it opened up and showed tropical fruit with mineral and a whiff of acidity. It was way better after being open for an hour or so. It had the classic papaya/guava/mango flavors but the acid came a little more to the forefront, and was really well balanced and also had notes of green apples. Great 45 second finish.

January 14, 2021 - Big improvement over last bottle, which still wasn’t too bad. Golden color, big nose and delicious mouthcoating fruit with a long finish.

December 26, 2020 - There was a slight metallic flavor profile upon initial tasting, but with air this wine really opened up and showed delicious fruit and long finish. Drinking beautifully now but needs air...best in 2 years.
