Kistler Vine Hill Chardonnay 2004 is a white wine from the Russian River Valley, produced from old vines on well-drained Goldridge soils. The vintage was warm and compact, encouraging concentration while retaining the vineyard’s inherent freshness. Aromas of lemon curd, white peach and toasted hazelnut are lifted by notes of smoke and crushed stone. The palate is rich yet finely poised, with layered fruit framed by bright acidity and a subtle mineral thread. Lees contact adds savoury depth, and the finish is long and focused, expressing both the warmth of the year and Vine Hill’s elegant precision.
