Kistler 2022 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard   

Winemaker's Notes
Green-tinged pale yellow. Pure, ethereal perfumes of morning white spring flowers, yellow stone fruit skins and melon rind, dusted with minerality. Naturally balanced on the palate, coiled but silken as it presents its middle fruit profile. Wonderfully layered, full and delicately flavored, leading to a long, persistent finish. Lightly gripped by mountain born phenolics, enhanced by the age of the vines and their small berries.

99 Points The Wine Independent
The 2022 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard requires much swirling and shaking before the nose slowly reveals notes of crunchy yellow apples, Bosc pears, and white peaches plus nuances of jasmine tea, paraffin wax, and marzipan with a waft of sea spray. The medium to full-bodied palate is light on its feet with ethereal orchard fruit and savory sparks, framed with beautifully poised acidity, finishing long and minerally.
