Kistler Les Noisetiers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2021 Rated 97DM

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 97
Kistler is a benchmark of classic California Chard, known for opulence and power. Over the last decade, however, its wines have gained a tension, cut and mineral intensity that is often striking. Les Noisetiers, appropriately named for the whiffs of hazelnut skins and kernel that accent lemon and custard on the palate, is a gorgeously poised expression of the muscle and grace of the Sonoma Coast. Drinking Window: 2023-2040.

Wine Tasting Notes
Rich, complex smoky aroma of perfect ripe fruit with a delicious noisette note, in a pleasing, Meursault-like style. In the mouth the wine is very delicious, displaying intense, fruit flavors underpinned with toasty oak and smoky flavors. The crisp acidity in the wine highlights the delicious fruit and makes it an excellent accompaniment to a wide range of foods. It is richly textured with a long, lingering finish.
