Kistler Les Noisetiers Chardonnay 2012

Decade-aged Sonoma Coast stunner balances citrus precision with hazelnut richness.

Ten years transformed this into something profound. Meyer lemon and white peach emerge first, followed by wet stone minerality that screams Sonoma Coast. Mid-palate reveals roasted hazelnuts and dried chamomile. Texture is silk and steel—creamy yet driving. Acidity cuts clean through the richness. Finish lingers with saline notes and honey. This vintage hit its stride perfectly. Drink now through 2027.
