Chardonnay Durell Vineyard 2016 Kistler

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

Slightly closed at this youthful stage, the 2016 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard slowly unfurls to reveal pineapple, pink grapefruit and lemon curd scents with underlying notions of baking bread, chopped almonds, chalk dust and allspice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is beautifully poised between intense tropical and citrus flavors and fantastic tension, featuring a long, silken-textured finish.

James Suckling (94)

Rich, powerful and well-cut flavors of white cherry, Asian pear and Key lime crackle with fresh acidity. The minerally finish delivers sea salt and savory spice notes.
