Chardonnay "Durell Vineyard", Kistler, Sonoma Coast, CA, 2022

Pale yellow. Softly lifted aromas of ripe citrus, light floral tones and its classic marine base note underpinnings within a subtler framework given the nuanced nature of vintage. Leads with a forward, just ripe golden fruited body, with coiled intensity, spine and length. Finishes with a subtle yet firm persistence. It has much to offer now but will undoubtedly age on along an intriguing path.
