2008

Kistler Vineyards

Les Noisetiers

Sonoma, California

Varietal(s):
100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:

Les Noisetiers is rich and complex with aromas of tangerine, citrus and smoky hazelnut. Meursault-like in style, this hearty white is luscious, displaying intense, fruit flavors underpinned with toasty oak, roasted nut with minerality and flinty stone accents in the tradition of great Burgundy. The crisp acidity complements the wine's rich texture. Enjoy on the warmer side of cold to enhance the wine's already long, lingering finish. This exclusive Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with lobster, shrimp scampi, and tortelloni with pesto and roasted pine nuts. Enjoy now and over the next 10 years.

    "If the Kistler winery could be transported to the middle of Burgundy, it would quickly gain a reputation as glorious as any producer of Burgundy's Grand Crus." (Robert Parker)
