A crisp, elegant yet powerful, mineral-dominated effort, the 2005 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard is reticent at present, exhibiting scents of lemon oil, white currants, peaches, and orange rind. With striking intensity, great elegance, richness, precision, and delineation, this beautiful Chardonnay brought to mind a top-notch French Corton-Charlemagne. Kistler Vineyards, undeniably one of the worlds finest winemaking estates, is run with passionate dedication to detail and quality by Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler.
