Cuvée Cathleen Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay

A very, very yummy bottle of Kistler from the cellar inspired me to start using Delectable again right this very second! 🤷🏼

Lobster Club, NYC.
By the glass, and we are in heaven. Excellent example, period.

After a couple months of hiatus, the Friday City Club group was able to get back together (albeit a smaller, more spread out group) for an epic hosting by @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine, all served blind.
I had this same vintage a little over a year ago and my note is very similar. I got a distinct hay note aromatically that I really haven’t come across much. It wasn’t herbal, but slightly more green and unique. Honeysuckle and honeyed stone fruits on the nose as well. Big and commanding on the palate and slightly more savory...lemon oil, sea salt and almond croissant. I called this 8-10yr old Cali chard.

Honeysuckle, honeyed mango, hay, green Apple and limestone on the nose but slightly more savory on the palate...with popcorn kernel and caramel. The finish then turned back slightly more delicate with white flower and honeycomb.

Jul 4th, 2018The 2010 cuvée Cathleenis very pale yellow in color with green tints. It has good mineralityand again very restrained aromas I it needs to open up. Aromas are of Bosc pear and fair skin. With an undercurrent of stony minerality. Excellent acid structure. Great length. Awesome. Needs a lot of time.

Tired of Noisetiers being on almost every wine list but Kathleen's Cuvee single vineyard was unique. Bigger frame more powerful Cali style Chard but had plenty of complexity and enjoy it very much.

Wow probably the Best of the very Best! From my notes rich creamy with just a touch of hazelnut, and creme brûlée . A stunner in anyone's books!
