Bright and and cheery with just the right amount of softness. Not full bodied, creamy, or oaky. Not a big wine, but food friendly with a pan fried pork chop. — 3 months ago

A little green in flavor (as in unripe), too acidic, but had some elements of tropical fruit, just not full and ripe. Has potential but not the best. — 6 months ago

Good aromatics, some minerals, crisp acid. Mellowed, aged flavors. Very fine . Fun to have a Riesling with 8 years of aging. I prefer those flavors. — a month ago

No problems noted despite the age. Very good, but not outstanding. The nose was great at about 30 minutes-1 hour in the glass. The nose seemed to fade over the evening, but still very nice. Acidity is notable. Earthy flavors, tobacco, dried fruit. Great experience trying a 41 year old vintage! — 5 months ago

Complex Chardonnay. A blend of minerality, sea air, and mild tropical fruits. Very interesting and enjoyable! — 3 months ago

Very nice but not as aromatic as other vineyards from Kistler. Maybe just getting a bit old and less fruity at 5 years? Or it may be the vineyard. Still enjoyed it. — 5 months ago
