Kistler “Les Noisetiers” Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2018

“Kistler Vineyards remains one of the absolute benchmark producers of great Sonoma Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sitting right up there with the highest quality examples of these grapes from throughout the world. While the wines come from as wide a range of top terroirs as Sonoma can provide, interestingly nearly all of the Chardonnays are produced from a proprietary selection of Wente clones taken from a Larry Hyde block in the early 1980s.”

– Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Les Noisetiers, surrounds the Kistler winery on the Sonoma Coast. The 2018 has a classic balance of layered, juicy fruit and mineral backbone. It is delicious wine, with white flowers and stone fruit aromatics leading to a full bodied, juicy core, loaded with flavors of peach, apricots, pineapple and pear. The finish goes a mile long.

It’s world class chardonnay from an absolute icon in American winemaking, Steve Kistler. Don’t miss.
