2019 Kistler, Hudson Vineyard, Los Carneros 1x750ml

Robert Parker 98

The 2019 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is incredibly distinctive this vintage, A ber marine-like with notes of iodine, nori and crushed stone floating over a core of white peaches and jasmine. The palate is exceptionally pure and intense, its satiny texture opposed by tangy acidity, and it finishes extraordinarily long and packed with flavor. It’s a step up in quality in 2019, as if the volume of this wine’s character has been turned up a notch. Give this generous, plush wine the time in cellar it deserves. [Erin Brooks, 10/05/2021]
