Kistler
Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
The 2008 find Hill Chardonnay is deep golden yellow in color. The aromas are still very fresh with some mineral notes with citrus lemon pie lemon meringue pie and just a hint of golden spices such as turmeric and saffron. On the pilot the flavors are more of ripe yellow hair and white peach with a good core of acidity and a strong phenolic structure. The wine has a long lingering finish with just a hint of vanilla.

Sep 8th, 2020Out of the chardonnays, this one was the one that was probably the least intricate. To me this one seemed to be a little out of balance. Very acidic. I was getting a little bit of Asian pear as well but I think this one was starting to lose its fruit.

07 was a bit better. Still a quintessential match for fresh crab and clarified butter.
