Kistler
Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA

Clearly california, but definitely makes an attempt at balance. The fruit is amped up and has solid acidity. Has a nice creaminess to it (malo?). Something for everyone here.

@Kirk Alexander Thank you buddy for such a wonderful gift!! You are invited over everyday from now on!! lol Amazing Chardonnay which is always a steadfast pour. Rich, textured and layered. Badass in a glass as I always say!

I brought this great chard, although a great experience I find this Kistler to need another year or two in bottle. In a group setting with Kosta Browne and J. Rochioli single vyd Chards that have that forward fruit component . I need to bring Kistler by itself and with a little bottle age.. Still have 4 or 5 of this vintage at home. CB
