Stone Flat Vineyard Chardonnay

Stone fruit, green apple, some dried apple too

Lemon curd, crisp, good acidity

Tasted with a 2011 McCrea, this one had a lot more on the McCrea but they were both a little strange. The McCrea had a long overly lemon tart finish that was out of balance with the more delicate front and middle. This one had better acid from start to finish. The entry was a bit more tropical but actually rather crisp. Good salinity. Very good weight in the middle. Took about 30 minutes to find its feet though. Really good balance. I think this one has a brighter and more rounded finish than the McCrea and also probably has quite a bit more left in it. Is this in a dumb phase? On decline? Who knows, but I'd drink now.

Steve Kistler does it again with his Stone Flat Chardonnay! Kicking off Nantucket Figawi '16..

Rich, but nice mineral backbone lives up to the name. Ready to drink now.

Chalky/minerality in the fruit. Elegant and enjoyable

Very nice but the aubert eclipsed the kistler in every dimension
