| Vintage: | 2020 |

| Description: | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 98 Points - "The 2020 Chardonnay CuvĂŠe Cathleen offers exceptionally defined, layered aromas: apricot and peach are complemented by tones of dried lilacs and herbs, honeycomb, almonds, tangerine, pie spices and flinty streaks. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and seamless, with concentrated, peachy fruit, tangy acidity and a tremendously long finish driven by an appealing touch of phenolic texture. It's a rare combination of fruit density carried on an elegant, harmonious structure.". Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points - "The 2020 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard Cuvee Cathleen is from a parcel within the vineyard on red volcanic soils that captures the afternoon sun. It offers a notably more relaxed and generous character, with banana rind, ripe pineapple, and vanilla. The palate is also ripe and rounded, with juicy pear, baked apple, and caramelized rum spice. It is opulent, layered, and very attractive now or over the next 8-10 years.". Wine Spectator 95 Points - "Striking impressive balance between power and elegance, this white wine is distinctive, with terrific focus and concentration to the pineapple upside-down cake, floral aromatics of lemon blossoms, honeycomb, lemon thyme, white pepper and crushed rock minerality, salted roasted almond notes and fresh-cut apple flavors. Juicy, fresh finish. Drink now through 2028." |
