Kistler Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard 2015 (750ML)

94 WA /  92-95 VM

The 2015 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard features enticing notes of ripe grapefruit, white peaches and lime leaves with nuances of baking bread, fresh ginger and coriander seed. Medium to full-bodied, richly fruited and delivering a decadent oiliness to the texture, it fills the palate with citrus and stone fruit layers, finishing long and spicy. Drink Date: 2018 – 2027 LPB – The Wine Advocate

One of the highlights in the range, the 2015 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard is powerful, tightly wound and super-expressive. Intensely savory and mineral, the 2015 has handled the richness of the vintage well. Readers who enjoy rich, phenolic Chardonnays will flip out over the McCrea. Today, it is the wine's structure, energy and overall balance that make it one of the best and most complete wines in this range. Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media
