Kistler's 2013 Les Noisetiers delivers profound minerality with hazelnut richness.
Citrus zest and white flowers leap from the glass. Stone fruit depth emerges—ripe peach, apricot kernel. Hazelnut notes weave through chamomile florals. Palate shows electric acidity balanced by subtle oak. Mineral spine drives through lengthy finish. This vintage hits peak drinking now but will reward patience. Classic Sonoma Coast precision meets Kistler's signature richness. Outstanding.
🍷 You want benchmark California Chardonnay that proves the variety's serious side.
Pairs with: Lobster thermidor, Roasted chicken with herbs, Aged Gruyère, Seared scallops with brown butter
