KISTLER
"If the Kistler Winery could be magically transported to the middle of Burgundy's Côte d'Or, it would quickly gain a reputation as glorious as any producer of Burgundy grand crus." -Robert Parker Jr., The Wine Advocate.
Kistler Vineyards was founded in 1978 by the Kistler family. The first vintage in 1979 produced 3,500 cases of wine and since then the winery has slowly grown to the planned production level of about 25,000 cases per year.
The vineyard sources stretch from western Sonoma County, five miles from the Pacific to Carneros, just north of San Francisco Bay. The majority of the plantings are owned and farmed by Kistler. Yields average two and a half tons per acre. Each of the ten Chardonnay bottlings is grown from the same heritage clone of Chardonnay that Kistler has been using for 30 years. Each of these bottlings is vinified in the same fashion, the only difference in the wines being the site on which they are grown. Because of this, this consignment offers a unique opportunity to taste a few of the different terroirs of Kistler.
