A standout as well as a candidate for perfection, the 2016 Chardonnay Laguna Ridge Vineyard is a sensational effort that has racy, vibrant, yet integrated acidity giving beautiful lift and cut to textbook notes of apple blossom, toasted hazelnuts, white flowers, spice box, and crushed rock-like minerality. With full body, a deep, layered, seamless texture, awesome purity of fruit, and a huge finish, it has everything you could want from a wine. Give it 2-3 years and enjoy over the following decade.
About the producer
Kistler’s Chardonnays are some of the world’s most sought-after. This cult Californian producer crafts small volumes of exceptional, rich and generous, yet mineral and precise wines. With almost the entire production sold directly to their mailing list, the wines are also incredibly hard to find.
