Mission Codename Gone hazelnuts!
Nope, you’re not seeing things. Chardonnay by THE Kistler. Up for the grabs. While it lasts.
Jeb Dunnuck just rated the biggest sister of this 100 points and wrote; “Winemaker Jason Kesner continues to put his mark on these wines, pulling back on harvest dates and focusing more on acidity, while not sacrificing concentration and texture. It’s not an easy tightrope to walk, but he’s doing an amazing job. These latest 2018s are truly brilliant, singular wines readers will love to have in their cellar.”
And Robert Parker defines Les Noisetiers as; “an outstanding effort with a note of roasted hazelnuts (hence the name) loads of sexy citrus oil, honeysuckle, and a touch of tropical fruit.”
They are both correct.
If you found this, do not hesitate. If sold out, we apologize. Supply is much, much smaller than demand, please don’t inquire, we just can’t get more.
