KISTLER CHARDONNAY HYDE VINEYARD CARNEROS 2023
Green-tinged pale yellow. Site-specific aromas of focused, ripe orchard fruit flesh, lightly roasted grains and its marine influence expressed by impressions of crushed oyster shells. Lifted and penetrating, weighted and expressive and yet light on its feet and taut. Offers a firm lengthy acid spine and a slightly oily texture behind its primary green fruited and mineral tones. Fascinating to taste next to the Hudson, noting not just their regional similarities but site informed differences.
