2020 Kistler Chardonnay Russian River Valley Vine Hill Vineyard

Remarkable, with incredible depth and complexity, this oozes with apple pastry and buttery notes. Lemon curd flavors are juicy and mouthwatering, with salty minerality adding a savory thread, backed by floral highlights of orange blossoms that show a hint of spices. Offers nice tension between the rich flavors and vibrant acidity, with a long, graceful finish. *Highly Recommended* (MW) Review Date: July 2023

"The 2020 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard unfurls scents of yellow apples, lemon-lime, meringue and elderflower with stony notes. The palate is satiny and mouth-coating with concentrated candied citrus flavors. It has a great interplay of creamy, meringue-like character and bright, tangy acidity, and it has a very long, ethereal finish." -Erin Brooks Review Date: July 2022
