Reminded me of a slightly more tannic version of the Greek Assyrtiko grape. Good backbone and structure. Fairly full bodied. Has a sort of pulpy mouth feel. — 14 days ago

Maybe a little past its peak. Ripe but much more simple than other Kistler vintages and I don't get that full aroma I'm use to getting from Kistler. Finish is a little flabby. — 2 months ago

Great nose and delicious tropical fruit. Sweeter but well balanced with the high acidity and a nice lively mineral feel. Definitely not a dry Riesling. One of these days I'll get Alsace. — a month ago

Delicious. Robust aroma of floral, tobacco, some veggie and a hint of eucalyptus,. flavors of dark cherry, raspberry, earthy soil, followed by floral and vegetable notes. Really well integrated with a long finish. Very well balanced. — 2 months ago

Nice dark gold color. Fuller body. Great nose- I get marmalade, pineapple, mushroom, toasted cream brûlée,. Nicely integrated flavors but a little thin on the finish. — 2 months ago

Past its prime which is weird to say about a wine only 8 years old, but it's still enjoyable. Still has the incredible Kistler nose. Don't know how he does it. — a month ago

Very Enjoyable. The full body texture of a Russian river chard but with the almost dry and mineral finish of a vermentimo. — 2 months ago

Oaked Chard. This is more rounded next to Lechuza's stainless steel chard. Softer and more integrated but a lot of the same yeasty, nutty and orange peel notes, which go well with the subtle vanilla from the oak. — 2 months ago
