Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2003

The 2001 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard is a tightly-knit offering. Light gold-colored with considerable glycerin and power, it exhibits a liquid minerality, and a big, rich, textured style with huge concentration. Most of the wine's character is at the back of the palate...With extraordinary length, richness, precision, and purity...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2004

Rich yellow color. Rather full-blown, expressive aromas of peach, apricot, minerals, licorice and mint. Fat with peachy fruit and complicated by notes of white flowers and vanillin oak. A sweet, pliant fruit bomb with less of the mineral and sulfidey character shown by some of the other Kistler 2001s. And yet this is still rather unevolved a few years in bottle should bring even more complexity. Very long on the aftertaste.
