Is Cuvée Cathleen Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay a good wine?
Tasting profile
A rich, powerful Chardonnay with pronounced minerality and crisp acidity, layering citrus, lime zest, green apple, and pear with hints of tropical fruit alongside the classic California signatures of butter, toast, and oak. Balanced and complex with a soft mouthfeel and a striking golden color, it drinks beautifully now and shows the structure to age further.
