Kistler McCrea Vineyard Chardonnay 2005 is a white wine from Sonoma Mountain, sourced from vines on volcanic soils that emphasise tension and mineral drive. The vintage was even and temperate, yielding fruit of balance and quiet concentration. Aromas of lemon zest, pear skin and hazelnut are joined by subtle flint and lanolin notes. The palate shows a fine interplay between weight and precision, with creamy texture offset by linear acidity. Oak influence is delicate, framing the wine without overt richness, and the finish is long, stony and composed, highlighting the site’s altitude and Kistler’s disciplined style.

Vinous
Bright gold. Vibrant aromas of Meyer lemon, orange and green apple, with subtle lees and toasted bread adding depth. Sappy, chewy citrus and orchard fruit flavors are impressively deep but also lively and fresh, with excellent lift and cut. Tightens up on the finish, with the brisk citrus qualities repeating. There's something ethereal about this precise lightweight.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008
