Decanted and drank over 2 hours. Nice bouquet of wet stones, apple, and vanilla. The wine has lots of minerality, acidity and citrus flavors with some oakiness on the finish. Drinking really nicely now and should improve with another 1-2 years in the bottle.

One of my favorite Kistler wines! Luscious stone fruits, citrus, and honey. Medium to full-bodied with some acidity and beautiful minerality, I see why Jeb Dunnuck say that "it's one of the finest Chardonnays in the vintage."

14.3 abv. Complex aroma strikes nose. White flower, peach, citrus, vanilla bean, honey, herbs. Oily, but minerals layer upon layer. Delicious California Chardonnay. Definitely young for now.
