Tasting notes
The 2014 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard is soft, open-knit and expressive, all qualities that make this a good choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Dried pear, almond, savory herbs and dried flowers carry through to the persistent finish. This supple, silky Chardonnay will drink well right out of the gate.

The 2014 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard has a gorgeously intense nose of pineapple paste, honey-nut and guava with touches of cashews and brioche. Medium to full-bodied with a lovely satiny texture, the tropical fruits are open for business with a zippy line of acidity to ensure great cellaring potential.
The 2014 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard is gorgeous. Lemon oil, white flowers, mint and white pepper are all laced together. Feminine, gracious and understated, the McCrea is beautifully balanced throughout.
About the producer
Kistler’s Chardonnays are some of the world’s most sought-after. This cult Californian producer crafts small volumes of exceptional, rich and generous, yet mineral and precise wines. With almost the entire production sold directly to their mailing list, the wines are also incredibly hard to find.
