Aged for 14 months in French oak, it offers a smooth, lingering finish with a touch of oxidative complexity, showcasing its graceful evolution. Perfect for pairing with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects Kistler’s artisanal precision and single-vineyard focus.

Its nuanced flavor profile and evolved finesse make it a collector’s gem.
