Kistler, Vine Hill Vineyard, Chardonnay--Vintage 1997
Russian River Valley
"The 1997 Chardonnay Vine Hill Road Vineyard (from both Hyde and Dijon Burgundy clones) is a more restrained wine with noticeably higher acidity. It reveals suggestions of cold steel, wet stones, and that liquid minerality found in certain Chardonnays. Medium to full-bodied, with excellent depth, and more austerity and backwardness than its siblings, it will benefit from another year of cellaring, and keep for 6-7 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #120 (Dec 1998)
