Kistler Chardonnay Russian River Valley Trenton Roadhouse 2020

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Trenton Roadhouse Vineyards sits at the top of a south-facing ridge, in fine-grained sandy Goldridge soil. The 2020 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse expresses a pleasant touch of reduction, with matchstick, white flowers, and tangerine, while the palate is dry, with orange pith, savory salinity, and mineral texture. Drink 2024-2032. (8/2/22)"

94 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is much more reticent than the other Chardonnays in the Kistler portfolio this vintage, with flinty, stony notes on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is bright and silky, with lemon candy flavors, sweet spice accents and a long, gently textured finish. Drink: 2022-2032. (Jul 2022)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "Admirable for the intensity and focus to the ripe peach, marmalade and ripe melon flavors, with spices and toasted, salted hazelnut grace notes coming in midpalate. Shows a smooth, creamy body, with generous acidity and a hint of toasted marshmallow on the long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2029. 900 cases made. (2023)"

94 points James Suckling: "Aromas of lemon grass, nutmeg and pink grapefruit. Medium-to full-bodied with a lovely core of apple and sliced pear. It fades slowly and elegantly through the finish. Harmonious feel to the palate. Drink or hold. (8/9/22)"
