Product Description
Kistler Vineyards is a small, family established and privately owned and operated winery dedicated to the vinification of world class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir using old world Burgundian techniques applied to our new world vineyards. We have consistently bottled some of the finest new world examples of these two varietals for over 30 years. 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. Steve Kistler received a B.A. from Stanford University, studied at U.C. Davis and Fresno State University for two years, and was an assistant at Ridge Vineyards for two years before founding Kistler Vineyards. He serves as winemaker and oversees vineyard operations.
Bright and delicate nose of black cherry, red raspberry touched by a hint of crushed rose petals and light spice. Mid-weight palate centered around a racy spine of acid. The slightest of refined, dusty tannins lead to a sumptuous cleansing finish that lingers on the palate.
