The 2017 Kistler 'Kistler Vineyard' Sonoma Valley Chardonnay is a highly acclaimed white wine, receiving impressive scores such as 98 points from Jeb Dunnuck and 97 from Decanter. This vintage is noted for its vibrancy and freshness, coupled with a concentrated, age-worthy feel, suggesting it will evolve beautifully over the next decade. The wine is crafted from 40-year-old dry-farmed vines in red volcanic soils at 1,800 feet elevation in the Mayacamas mountains. 【 Incredible notes of white flowers, crushed rocks, salty minerality, and stone fruits 】 define this magical Chardonnay, which also presents a powerful, dense, and multi-dimensional texture with bright acidity and a persistent finish. Savory notes of toasted hazelnut, hay, river stone, dried white flowers, citrus peel, honeycomb, and lemon meringue also emerge on the nose. 🍴 This Kistler Chardonnay, with its buttery and complex style, pairs wonderfully with rich dishes. Consider roasted chicken with herbs, pan-seared scallops with a lemon-butter sauce, or creamy mushroom risotto. For a more adventurous pairing, try it with aged hard cheeses or even a delicate truffle pasta. 🥂 This wine is perfect for a celebratory dinner, a sophisticated wine tasting event, or a special anniversary. Its age-worthiness also makes it an excellent choice for cellaring and enjoying in the years to come.
