Kistler Stone Flat Vineyard Chardonnay 2006 is a white wine from Napa Valley, sourced from gravelly alluvial soils that yield compact, mineral-driven fruit. The vintage was warm and dry, giving ripe fruit expression balanced by careful picking and restrained élevage. Aromas of baked apple, citrus oil and hazelnut are joined by hints of smoke, flint and subtle lees. The palate is broad and textured, with layered fruit framed by firm acidity and fine phenolic grip. Oak integration is seamless, supporting a finish that is long, savoury and composed, combining the vineyard’s density with Kistler’s hallmark precision.

Light gold. A strikingly complex bouquet displays scents of wet stone, iodine, pear, lemon rind and smoked meat. Tightly wound, mineral-driven citrus and orchard fruit flavors completely stain the palate, picking up exotic floral and spice notes with air. The finish resonates with citrus fruit, stones and white flowers and refuses to let up. The '05 version of this was like a Montrachet while this one is a dead-ringer for Chevalier-Montrachet.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2009
