The Kistler Cuvée Cathleen Chardonnay 2017 is sourced from a diverse selection of vineyard sites characterised by varied clonal material. This wine presents a focused bouquet of golden apple, citrus zest and mineral undertones, reflecting its well-drained, rocky soils. Aged in French oak, the palate showcases a creamy texture balanced by noticeable acidity. Kistler Vineyards, established in 1978 by winemaker Steve Kistler, is known for its meticulous approach to vineyard management and commitment to expressing the terroir in their wines. This vintage is suitable for immediate enjoyment or cellaring for several years.

The 2017 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard Cuvée Cathleen emerges from the center section of a hillside that sits apart from the larger part of the property where the soils are more decomposed in nature. Interestingly, the Cuvée Cathleen is quite lifted and aromatic next to the decidedly richer straight bottling off this site. Floral, citrus and orchard notes all lift from the glass. On the palate, the Cuvée Cathleen is far less expressive and giving. I would cellar it for another year or more. It is very clearly a special wine in the making. The style is all finesse.
