Kistler
Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
Finally, wifey and I can report some progress. Wine cellar is now finished, and we love it. The germ of the idea came from @Mo Salem when we were in demolition phase. We took it from there. 6 months later, here were are.
Onto the Kistler, which is a lovely example, but I detect it’s on the decline. Having said that, it has a great nose of peaches, honey and pistachios. Visually, you can see that the chassis is a rich, golden color, suggesting corrosion. Palate is creamy and dense. Acid has given way to some cardboard notes, but this is still a good example from a great producer.

Still fresh and alive. Not tropical nor alcoholic.
