Score 95/100 · Drink 2023-2032, Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2022

The 2020 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard brings more lifted and savory notes of pine, fresh thyme, and lemon verbena. The palate is fresh and ripe, with peach, custardy richness, and driving saline minerality. Drink 2023-2032.

The 2020 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard unfurls scents of yellow apples, lemon-lime, meringue and elderflower with stony notes. The palate is satiny and mouth-coating with concentrated candied citrus flavors. It has a great interplay of creamy, meringue-like character and bright, tangy acidity, and it has a very long, ethereal finish.

Score 87/100 · Drink 2022-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022

The 2020 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard comes across as light, diluted and lacking in body. There are no obvious flaws, but not much depth or complexity. Time brings out angular contours.

About the producer

Kistler 1:1
Kistler

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.
