Kistler 2022 Chardonnay Hyde   

Winemaker's Notes

Green-tinged pale yellow. Site-specific aromas of focused, ripe orchard fruit flesh, lightly roasted grains and its marine influence expressed by impressions of crushed oyster shells. Lifted and penetrating, weighted and expressive and yet light on its feet and taut. Offers a firm lengthy acid spine and a slightly oily texture behind its primary green fruited and mineral tones. Fascinating to taste next to the Hudson, noting not just their regional similarities but site informed differences.

99 points James Suckling 

Wow. This is really framed with fine phenolics that melt into the wine and give it such great tension and form. The flavors are full of ripe apples, honey, toasted oak and heather. Extremely long and racy. Such class. Drink after 2028, but already dreamy.
