2019 Kistler Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay Russian River Valley

(98 points    ---   Wine Advocate)

The 2019 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard begins with singular touches of seaweed and candle smoke that give way to preserved citrus, white peaches, beeswax and lush jasmine perfume. The palate is dynamic, with a crescendo of honeyed fruits, gently tangy acidity and shimmery mineral character uplifting the finish. It's Vine Hill Vineyard with the volume turned up! (EB) (6/2021)
