The 2014 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard has very pretty white grapefruit, lemon curd and white peach notes over nuances of honeysuckle, allspice and baker’s yeast plus a touch of chalk dust. Full-bodied and packed with finesse, the rich, concentrated citrus and stone fruit flavors are beautifully marked by crisp acidity and it finishes with loads of mineral layers.

Tasted immediately after the Trenton Roadhouse bottling, it seems a little softer and more diffuse. Easy to like and with a texture of golden honey. Beautifully made but it lacks the nerve and tension of a top Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. The Cuvée Cathleen is definitely superior. Though this surely won't fall off its perch in a hurry. - jancisrobinson.com, December 2016
