Thirteen years reveal Kistler's mineral-driven precision at its peak.

Meyer lemon zest opens into honeyed stone fruit. Wet granite minerality cuts through rich texture. Hazelnut whispers from restrained oak. Chamomile adds floral lift to the lengthy finish. This 2010 drinks magnificently now - citrus brightness intact, creamy weight developed. Perfect integration of fruit, oak, acid. Classic Sonoma Coast tension between richness and precision. Peak drinking window through 2026.
