Kistler's 2015 Les Noisetiers epitomizes Sonoma Coast precision and depth.

Brilliant gold color. Citrus zest and white peach leap forward, backed by subtle hazelnut richness from expert oak handling. Chamomile adds floral lift. Palate delivers stunning concentration without weight. Stone fruit intensity balanced by razor-sharp acidity. Mineral backbone drives the wine through a persistent, saline finish. Impeccable site expression. Peak drinking now through 2028. This vintage captures everything great about cool-climate California Chardonnay.
