Kistler's Cuvée Cathleen is a classic expression of Chardonnay, which displays striking aromas of lemon confit, ripe pear, pulverized rock, lime zest, white nectarine, honey, flint and spring floral nuances that all come together beautifully. The palate offers a focused and intense character, complemented by cool-toned orchard fruits, honey and citrus notes with secondary layers of lemon custard and a notable stony character. It possesses fantastic energy and precision through the impressively long and structured finish. Even in its youth, the Cuvée Cathleen is utterly fascinating, and is amongst one of the most compelling Chardonnays being made in all of California. While this is utterly thrilling today, this should also continue to evolve beautifully over the course of the next decade.
