RATINGS

97Jeb Dunnuck

...incredible purity, precision, and obvious minerality. More white peach, lemon, white flowers, and crushed stone notes emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, mineral-laced mouthfeel, a touch of toasted nuts on the palate, and a fabulous finish.

96+ The Wine Advocate

...soft, bright and energetic. It has delicate aromas of quince paste, hazelnuts, stone and white flowers. Its silky, expansive palate has incredible detail, precision and lift that carries the long, mineral-driven finish.

94Wine Spectator

Offers buttered, salted toffee and toasted almond flavors, which add a rich thread to the core of juicy, fleshy pear, peach and papaya. Reveals a touch of aromatic white flowers and a savory thread of acidity.

94Vinous / IWC

...fresh, perfumed and beautifully lifted. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers and chamomile all grace this gentle, understated Chardonnay from Kistler. Bright mineral notes punctuate the brilliant finish. Floral and saline hints are especially prominent.
