Kistler, Sonoma Mountain, McCrea Vineyard, Chardonnay 2006
Description
lightly damp stained labels
95 points Wine Spectator
Fresh, rich and vibrant, deep and concentrated, showing spicy green apple and pear flavors, with lemon-citrus shading. This is full-bodied and gains velocity on the finish, where it holds its focus. *Highly Recommended* (6/2009)
94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Previously recommended, but no tasting note given. A year earlier, with the same score: The 2006 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard exhibits a light gold/green hue along with aromas of stone fruits, honey, orange zest (or is it tangerine?), and subtle wood spices. Full-bodied with beautiful texture as well as purity, and a long finish.(RP) (12/2008)
