Kistler McCrea Vineyard Chardonnay 2018 is a single vineyard white wine from the Sonoma Mountain AVA in California. Sourced from a site with limestone-rich soils, this Chardonnay is known for its high-toned aromatics and intense mineral focus. The 2018 vintage produced a wine of remarkable purity and structural energy. The nose is defined by a striking combination of lemon curd, white peach and a distinct smoky, flinty minerality. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and laser-focused, driven by a high-toned acidity that slices through the concentrated fruit. This is a sophisticated, site-driven Chardonnay that displays remarkable tension and a saline, persistent finish.

The 2018 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard is gorgeous, and also one of the finest editions I can remember tasting. It is also the first year the McCrea emerges exclusively from the white, chalky soils on the property as previous vintages also included fruit from red soils of volcanic origin. Dried flowers, chamomile, sage, mint, almond and lemon oil give the 2018 striking aromatic and flavor complexity. The 2018 is unbelievably beautiful, but it is not an obvious wine. It is one of the finest editions of the McCrea I can remember tasting.Antonio Galloni1st January 2020
