Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A textbook example in how to make a Chardonnay that’s ripely fruity and oaky, yet maintains impeccable balance. The orange, apricot, green apple and lime flavors hit the jackpot, while brisk acidity and minerality provide equilibrium. Possesses that rare quality of elegance."

Your Favorite Chardonnay
Anyone who knows American Chardonnay, knows Kistler. The Les Noisetiers gets its name from the toasted hazelnut characteristic the wine displays. With good fruit, it is driven by its minerally quality and is a natural complement to food.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This isn’t a long-term ager, but do give it about a year in the bottle to let all of its parts meld together. Right now, it’s tight and oaky. It features intense, bright pineapple, green apple and orange flavors, with sweet barrel influences and a tenuous streak of acidity."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Chardonnay The Judge is quite reserved, especially next to the other wines in this lineup. Layers of rich fruit are hidden behind a wall of structure. Right now, the 2010 is all about potential, but the integration of fruit, oak and minerality is hugely promising."
