98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:  The 2019 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard is stunning all the way, with a vibrant, racy, focused, and salty nose of crushed lemons, crushed stone, white flowers, and green almonds. Also gorgeous on the palate, this medium to full-bodied, quintessential, layered, balanced Sonoma Chardonnay is going to shine for a solid decade or more if well stored.

96 Points - Vinous:  The 2019 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard is magnificent. Fresh, floral and translucent, the 2019 is off the charts gorgeous. Dry-farmed Chardonnay is so special here. Deceptive in its mid-weight feel, the 2019 is wonderfully elegant and so precise. White flowers, crushed rocks, sage, mint and chalk lend a striking top register to this chiseled, pristine mountain Chardonnay. The 2019 is a truly special wine.
