Kistler Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Les Noisetiers 2020 (375ml) Metro Cellars LLC

Kistler Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Les Noisetiers 2020 (375ml) Metro Cellars LLCKistler Vineyards remains one of the absolute benchmark producers of great Sonoma Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sitting right up there with the highest quality examples of these grapes from throughout the world. While the wines come from as wide a range of top terroirs as Sonoma can provide, interestingly nearly all of the Chardonnays are produced from a proprietary selection of Wente clones taken from a Larry Hyde block in the early 1980s.
