The 2013 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard, a Sonoma Mountain cuvée, shows loads of crushed-rock minerality, lemon oil, apple blossom and brioche in a medium to full-bodied style. Drink it over the next 4-6 years.

The 2013 Chardonnay McCrea is soft and supple, with lovely mid-palate density and creaminess. Orange peel, mint, spice and chamomile meld together in an expressive Chardonnay that will drink well early. In 2013, the McCrea is a wine of total finesse and class.
Pretty and open-knit, the 2013 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard graces the palate with a lovely sense of understatement. Rich yellow stone fruits take on light tropical and honeyed inflections in the glass. Rich, voluptuous yet quintessentially medium in body, the 2013 should drink well with minimal cellaring.
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.
