Merchant's description

Kistler Vine Hill Chardonnay 2006 is a white wine from the Russian River Valley, grown on sandy Goldridge soils that favour aromatic lift and supple texture. The growing season was moderate, yielding fruit of clarity and natural balance. Aromas of ripe citrus, white nectarine and toasted almond are interwoven with flint and gentle lees notes. The palate is finely weighted, with creamy mid-palate depth supported by brisk acidity and a subtle saline edge. Oak is integrated and understated, lending quiet structure, and the finish is long and composed, reflecting both site purity and measured winemaking.
