Kistler Chardonnay Sonoma Valley Kistler Vineyard 2019

98 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard is stunning all the way, with a vibrant, racy, focused, and salty nose of crushed lemons, crushed stone, white flowers, and green almonds. Also gorgeous on the palate, this medium to full-bodied, quintessential, layered, balanced Sonoma Chardonnay is going to shine for a solid decade or more if well stored. Drink: 2021-2031. (7/22/21)"

96+ points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard opens with youthful, smoky graphite and toast, offering crushed almonds and white blossoms with some time in the glass. The palate surprises with its depth of ripe, fragrant fruits and textural, expansive character balanced by mineral tones and bright acidity. It finishes long and lifted. All that intensity and lift will allow it to evolve over the next 3-5 years in bottle and hold in the cellar for 10+ years. Drink: 2021-2031. (Jun 2021)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard is magnificent. Fresh, floral and translucent, the 2019 is off the charts gorgeous. Dry-farmed Chardonnay is so special here. Deceptive in its mid-weight feel, the 2019 is wonderfully elegant and so precise. White flowers, crushed rocks, sage, mint and chalk lend a striking top register to this chiseled, pristine mountain Chardonnay. The 2019 is a truly special wine. Drink: 2022-2031. (Jan 2021)"
