98 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard Cuvée Cathleen is one of the best wines I have ever tasted from Kistler. Complex and multi-faceted, the 2021 offers up an exciting mélange of ripe orchard fruit, dried flowers, mint, spice and anise. There's an energy to the 2021, a feeling of noble complexity, that is so alluring. Drink: 2024-2031. (Jan 2024)"
96+ points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Chardonnay Cuvée Cathleen is bright and crystalline. Scents of oyster shell and saline give way to white peaches, almonds and spring honey. The light-bodied palate is ethereal and vibrant with coiled, mineral-driven fruit and a surprisingly mouth-coating texture. Give it a few years in bottle to unwind. Drink: 2025-2040. (8/31/23)"
96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A youthful yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard Cuvee Cathleen is sunny with a bit of white pepper spice and aromas of green tea and citrus rind. Full-bodied, with good richness and a more pithy texture, it’s ripe with green almond, melon rind, mushroom earth, and pear. It‘s long on the palate and the same bit of grippy texture the Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard has. Drink it over the next 10 years. (7/21/23)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "Offers a deep, complex mix of butterscotch, peach, marmalade and lime zest notes, with a touch of lemon confit, lemon balm and caramelized pineapple. The frame is dense and firmly juicy, with details of nutmeg and toasted almond on the finish. Drink now. 425 cases made. (4/24/24)"
