Merchant's description

Kistler Vine Hill Chardonnay 2005 is a white wine from the Russian River Valley, grown on sandy Goldridge soils that lend finesse and aromatic precision. The season’s mild, even conditions produced fruit of balance and quiet intensity. Aromas of lemon zest, white blossom and hazelnut are layered with flint and subtle lees-derived smoke. The palate shows supple weight and creamy texture, cut by lively acidity and a fine mineral edge. Oak is seamlessly integrated, contributing gentle structure, and the finish is long and composed, reflecting both the purity of the site and Kistler’s disciplined style.
