Kistler Chardonnay "Les Noisetiers" Sonoma Coast 2018

Les Noisetiers (pronounced Lay Nwaz-tee-yay) refers to the toasted hazelnut characters found in the wine year in and year out from these sites. This cuvee is an appellation-focused Chardonnay with hearty mineral and bright acidity.  The 11 months of oak aging is present but it is not the focus with white flowers and stone fruit aromatics leading to a full bodied, juicy core, loaded with flavors of peach, apricots, pineapple and pear.
