The top cuvée, the 2012 Chardonnay Cuvée Cathleen, comes from the Kistler Vineyard and is essentially a selection of the best barrels. As you can imagine, it's similar to the Kistler Vineyard, with many of the same aromatic and flavor components, just slightly more intense and perhaps a trifle longer. Both of these Kistler Vineyard cuvées are spectacular Chardonnays to drink over the next 5-8 years.
The Kistler wines were bottled in November/December of 2013 and have had a good nine to ten months to recover from the bottling period. They all performed impressively well, showing perfect acids, great purity and freshness, medium to full-bodied mouthfeels and long finishes. It seems as though there have been a few subtle changes, with perhaps slightly less new oak being used than in the past, and possibly earlier bottling, but these are very minor adjustments in Kistler's Chardonnay style, which is Burgundian, but captures the essence of the beautiful fruit that is available in the viticultural Shangri-La of the diverse microclimates of Sonoma.

The 2012 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard Cuvée Cathleen emerges from a parcel within Kistler Vineyard planted exclusively with old selections of the Wente clone that confer notable power and breadth, but allied to the intense minerality that is a signature of this site. A dash of new French oak is nicely integrated into the finish. The Cuvée Cathleen is the most structured of the Kistler Chardonnays. -- Antonio Galloni
