2008 Kistler Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard Sonoma Mountain

 

ロバート・パーカーのワイン・アドヴォケート 94ポイント

"The 2008 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard reveals copious aromas of white peaches, crushed rocks, nectarines and citrus blossoms in a grand cru Chablis-like style. Drink this beauty over the next 7-8 years.

Not only have the 2008s lived up to or exceeded their potential from last year’s barrel tastings, the 2009s appear to be fabulous as well. Of course, 2008 was a much more challenging vintage and 2009 was a cool year, much like 2005, with slightly lower alcohols and higher yields than the short crop of 2008. All of the 2009 Chardonnays finished with around 14+% alcohol levels and had more minerality than usual. Kistler’s bottled 2008s were all concentrated. The 2008 Chardonnays have the potential to last even longer than the 2009s given the fact that they are even more concentrated than those wines."

"More minerality is present in the tighter knit, but full-bodied, stunningly rich 2008 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard. This Chablis-like offering reveals abundant orange and citrus blossom characteristics intermixed with a crushed rock/wet stone note, super texture and density, and a strong, powerful finish with both elegance and substance. Best drunk during the first 5-7 years of life " (Wine Advocate #187 Feb 2010 Robert Parker )

"Fresh apple and spicy floral scents are elegant and delicate in this medium- to full-bodied white, which is impressive for its fresh, snappy fruit vitality. Drink now through 2016. 1,820 cases made. –JL"
