Kistler's Les Noisetiers delivers profound minerality wrapped in Sonoma Coast elegance.
Brilliant golden hue signals serious intent. Meyer lemon and white peach emerge first, followed by struck flint and wet stone minerality. Hazelnut richness from careful oak aging adds depth without overwhelming. Chamomile florals provide ethereal lift. Palate shows remarkable tension - creamy texture balanced by razor-sharp acidity. Finish extends beautifully with saline notes and lingering citrus oil. This 2019 vintage captures perfect ripeness before extreme heat years. Will develop gracefully through 2030.
๐ท You seek serious white Burgundy character without the Burgundy price tag.
Pairs with: Dungeness crab with brown butter, Roasted halibut with herb crust, Aged Gruyรจre, Lobster risotto
