Cuvée LV Sonoma County Chardonnay

Fresh white flowers and zippy apple and a bright, almost candy, tang on the nose. Nice balance, sweet on the palate. A little of citrus note

Not for me and totally disagree with RP who gave this a 95 - too much burn for 20 year old chard

Golden, soft, honeyed, slightly oxed. Classic aged kalin. Good

Sitting at 71 Above and Sommelier suggested the Kalin 95. As vintners, this is amazing!!!!!

I have always wanted to try this guys wines. Very eccentric in his release philosophy, current vintage of the chard is 1999. On this night I got to try 3 different '95s. By far the best of the bunch was the Charles Heintz vineyard which had matured into something unrecognizable in CA chard. Great experience.

Always a treat to check out Kalin. Somehow evolved and a baby all at once. Still wooden and yet so ready to drink.

Terry Leighton is the winemaker and is quite an interesting character. Terry marches to his own drum when it comes to making and releasing his wines.His 95 Chardonnay is his current release. How many wine producers are willing to hold their wines and forgo revenue until they believe they are truly ready to enjoy?Almost none! Terry does not filter his Chardonnay. The 95 is; macerated apples, pear, quince, a touch of ripe pineapple and has just a hint of a raisinated quality. Rich lush mouthfeel, nice balance and near perfect acidity.

1993 stealth...such fun wines

Past its prime.

Pretty good shape yet. Wasn't sure where this would be, and it was pretty delicious
