The 2024 Kistler Sonoma Valley Chardonnay is a refined California white showing lemon, white peach and ripe pear with citrus blossom, hazelnut and subtle toasted notes.
On the palate, it is rich yet focused, with bright acidity balancing a rounded, creamy texture. Citrus and stone fruit combine with gentle nutty and oak characters before a long, dry and mineral finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy generous fruit, fine texture and restrained oak. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Serve lightly chilled with Dungeness crab, seared scallops, roast chicken with tarragon or lobster with brown butter.
