Hazelnut richness meets Sonoma Coast precision in stunning balance.
Meyer lemon zest opens to white peach and chamomile aromatics. Hazelnut depth from careful oak work. Stone minerality cuts through creamy texture perfectly. Citrus acidity drives long finish with hints of wet granite. This 2018 captures cool-climate elegance while maintaining Kistler's signature richness. Drink through 2028 as secondary notes develop. Pure class.
