Kistler Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

$155

Limited single-vineyard Kistler Chardonnay now available. 94 Points Robert Parker:  "The Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard opens with profound notions of pink grapefruit, pear tart and green mango with touches of pie crust, almond paste, orange blossoms and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, it completely coats the palate with satiny textured tropical and citrus fruits, featuring loads of savory accents and a long, uplifting finish... ...The single-vineyard wines all represent much smaller quantities of wine. There have been several noticeable changes in the Kistler wines over the last few years, as they are certainly picking the Pinot Noir at an earlier date and going for less extraction, more fragrance and delicacy. The Chardonnays are still powerful wines but they have backed off the new oak to about 40%. (About 10 years ago, it was around 60%.) Other than that they are still potent and rich Chardonnays that are meant to be drunk in their first 4-6 years of life."

Starts delicately alluring, drawing you in with chalk, butterscotch, and lemon curd. Remaining elegant, the subtlety immediately disappears to show a voluptuous, sexy wine that envelops the palette.
