Few California producers have done more to establish Chardonnay as a serious, age-worthy wine than Kistler. Since the late 1970s, the Sonoma estate has focused almost exclusively on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, developing its own selections of each and matching them to vineyards throughout the region. The result is a style that feels distinctly Californian without relying simply on ripeness and oak.
The Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay brings together the natural concentration of mountain-grown fruit with Kistler's measured approach in the cellar. The 2024 has plenty of substance, but the winemaking keeps that richness in check, giving the wine definition and allowing its fresher side to emerge alongside the texture.
Yellow apple, pear and Meyer lemon lead into almond, subtle vanilla and a touch of savory spice. It's broad and silky at first, then gradually tightens as the acidity comes through, leaving a long, clean finish. Definitely a richer style of Chardonnay, but a beautifully controlled one. Give it a proper glass and pair with roast chicken, grilled lobster, or a big piece of simply cooked fish.
