Kistler Vineyards Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2021

Reviews

97+ -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

The 2021 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard comes from vines planted on AXR rootstock in 1988. Vibrancy and deep fruit define this wine, although the Vine Hill's aromatics take some time to segue from saline and iodine to fresh quince and lime peel. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated quince and apple flavors anchored by a singular bit of grip to the texture. Its tangy acidity and a chalky character to the finish, creates a shimmery effect and drives you to take another sip. It will be very long lived in the cellar.

A sunny golden hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard is ripe and savory, with a more brothy nature and a note of fresh sage. The palate has more structure and an almost grippy feel, with driving acidity in its notes of fleshy earth, orange pith, peach skin, toasted spice, and a touch of pineapple. it has mouthwatering acidity without being harsh in any way, thanks to its balance, and it’s savory on the finish. Drink it over the next 15 years.
