2023 Kistler ‘Trenton Roadhouse’ Chardonnay Russian River Valley

JS97 An ethereal, melted, creamy white that’s silky in texture and so ripe and rich in flavor on a full body. Mouth-coating flavors of poached pears, creme brulee, lemon meringue and vanilla bean expand in the glass. Difficult not to drink it now, but best from 2030.
VIN96 The 2023 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is another super-impressive wine in this range from Kistler. Aromatic and light on its feet, the 2023 is attractive for with its gracious, poised personality. Citrus, white flowers, chalk, slate and dried herbs lend nuance to this decidedly translucent,
ethereal Chardonnay. The Trenton Roadhouse is all about subtlety.
JD96 From the Russian River Valley, the 2023 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is savory on the nose with notes of flinty crushed stones, and it has compact focus on the palate, with toasty savoriness, Alsatian-like peach and yellow flowers, and a clean, chalky finish. Drink 2025-2037.
WA94 The 2023 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse bursts from the glass with intense aromas of peach, quince paste, honey, citrus blossoms and flint. The full-bodied palate pairs intensely concentrated, flint-laced flavors with mouthwatering acidity, and it has a very long, dynamic finish.
