I brought this great chard, although a great experience I find this Kistler to need another year or two in bottle. In a group setting with Kosta Browne and J. Rochioli single vyd Chards that have that forward fruit component . I need to bring Kistler by itself and with a little bottle age.. Still have 4 or 5 of this vintage at home. CB — 12 years ago
The 17.1 alcohol doesn't come into play at all unless you drank the entire bottle. Pure Fruit nice concentration of black fruits. Opened up after 30 minutes. I didn't want this wine to end ! Awesome expression for Zinfandel! I know people might say No Way but CB 100!!! This is a Big Statement my first of 2015. — 11 years ago

Rich black cherry nice cherry component , great body. Needed 30-45 minutes to open. Wow really expressive. I would put my book down for this. Tom Clancy's and Mark Greaney's Full Force and Effect ! Bravo both the Great Wine and book!! CB — 12 years ago
Great Wine but on a 95 degree day. I picked the wrong wine to serve with seafood! Served as a App! We never fixed the bottle! Go figure. Suggestions anyone! CB — 12 years ago

Could not believe after trying previous chard the same night, this was a touch better. Though more integration of oak. Toasted creme brûlée , creamy texture a superb Chard from Kistler!!! Bravo. With family and friends on Sunday 2-7-15. CB — 11 years ago
