McCrea Vineyard. Kistler is considered by Robert Parker and Steve Tanzer (two of the top wine commentators in the US) as the highest quality Chardonnay producer in California and the most "Burgundian" of the California wines. 96 points by the Wine Spectator: "Tightly reined in, intense and deeply concentrated, with an elegant, bright core of pear, anise, hazelnut, citrus and honeyed notes, lingering long and lively on the finish."
