Kistler Trenton Roadhouse Chardonnay, 2018 Charcuterie and a hint of underbrush

and a hint of underbrush and new oak

Still inky coloured and loaded with notions of beef blood

The granite soil adds minerality and complexity to this wine

floral and mineral notes along with a soupçon of vanilla

The wines are aged on lees and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation

Kistler Trenton Roadhouse Chardonnay, 2018 Charcuterie and a hint of underbrushThe 2018 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is wonderfully gracious and expressive. Floral and citrus notes open first, as the layers start to open up with a bit of time in the glass. Like many wines in this range, the Trenton needs time to soften a bit, especially on the finish. Orchard fruit, white flowers and a kiss of French oak linger.
