Kistler Vine Hill Chardonnay 2001 is a white wine from the Russian River Valley, drawn from mature vines rooted in Goldridge sandy loam that imparts lift and precision. The cool, steady season favoured slow ripening and finely detailed fruit. Aromas of citrus oil, pear and almond are layered with flint and light smoke. The palate is taut yet textured, showing creamy mid-palate weight balanced by brisk acidity and a saline mineral core. Oak is seamlessly absorbed, adding quiet structure, and the finish is long, composed and subtly savoury, revealing the vineyard’s hallmark restraint and purity.

Less bright yellow than the Hudson. Reticent, pure aromas of minerals, menthol and truffle. Concentrated, precise, minerally and tactile, but still tightly wound. Very juicy, dry and sharply delineated chardonnay, finishing quite long and a bit austere. Offers terrific potential. From very poor soils, notes Kistler, who says the structure of this wine resembles that of the McCrea.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2004
