Kistler

Les Noisetiers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2020

9.4

This wine is so good, it should not be overlooked. Apparently, Kistler (Jason Kesner) produces this wine for restaurants. But that doesn’t mean us mere mortals can’t enjoy it at home. Some would consider this a mass-market proposition, but it’s anything but that. It possesses a transparency of an individual story, which is easy to read. There are no missing pages or chapters. This wine is well structured and prismatic in terms of its complexity, layers and minerality. Butterscotch, honey and calcium pierce the taste buds, and at a price I consider to be reasonable for such an outstanding product. Check out Kistler’s website. They hide nothing. It screams about very considered wine-making at its very best. Consider this for short-term cellaring only. — a year ago

I totally agree Ron, except for your conclusion about the aging potential. I have drink several for 10 up to 20 years old bottles, and every time it was party time!

@Willem Booij, totally respect your viewpoint on this wine. As a rule of thumb, Kistler is certainly age worthy. This wine presented very little acidity, and it was for this reason that I felt that this wine would not further improve with age. It’s a beautiful specimen now. No need to risk it decaying prematurely, IMO.

@Tom Casagrande and @Eric Urbani, thanks guys. Great wines deserve the best prose that we can muster.

Morillon vom Opok
Biodynamic Chardonnay from Steiermark.
Cloudy, smokey, yeasty, sappy, fresh!
Bruised apples, ripe lemons, underripe pineapple, green mango. Plus some hay, flinty, smokey aromas. Juicy, fresh, enticing.
On the palate with vibrant acidity, with great freshness & depth. Rough around the edges, with a touch of cidery notes, a bit of VA. There’s a creamy touch to the mouthfeel. And a mineral hint. This is ultra drinkable and so delicious. Love it! — 2 years ago
