Note di degustazione
The 2014 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is one of the more delicate wines in this range. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, white flowers and mint shape this attractive, understated Chardonnay. I would prefer to drink the 2014 over the next few years, while the fruit remains vibrant. This is an exceptionally polished Chardonnay from Kistler.

The 2014 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is youthfully shy, offering glimpses at lemon zest, yuzu and grapefruit notes with a touch of crushed stones. Medium-bodied, very fine and elegant in the mouth, it has compelling citrus intensity with a touch of phenolic texture and minerals on the long finish.
Vineyard planted by the Kistler team on the sandy clay known here as Goldridge between 1992 and 1995. 9,960 bottles filled. Quite broad and open on the nose at first though there is the backdrop of tension and acidity. Richer than many a Sonoma Coast wine but with a fine skein of acidity and real nerve. Lots to chew on. A most agreeable combination of the richness of Chardonnay ripened by the California sun together with the palpable marine influence. Long and impressive. (JR)
The 2014 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is one of the most airy, weightless wines in this range. Floral, mint and orchard fruit notes all meld together effortlessly. It will be interesting to see if the 2014 puts on more weight in bottle. Today it is aromatically expressive, but a bit more elusive on the palate.
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
