A STUNNING KISTLER CHARDONNAY

I recently experienced the distinct pleasure of consuming a bottle of the 2002 Kistler Chardonnay, Cuvee Cathleen, Kistler Vineyard, Sonoma Valley. This beauty is a truly stunning example of California Chardonnay that rivals the very best White Burgundy. It possesses a definitive yellow color with crystal clarity, multi-layered richness and flavors, and a super long, delicious finish. It massages the mouth with lushness. The best Kistler Chardonnay I’ve tasted in years! Its CNFATE numbers are: C4N4+F5-A3T3E5-; 98 pts, cellared at 55°F. This baby is ready to drink; don’t delay; it won’t get any better than it is now. Tasted 4/7/2006.
