キスラー シャルドネ キュヴェ キャスリーン 2017

キスラーの畑から生み出された最上の樽を選別したキュヴェ。豪華でフルボディで、厚みがあり、卓越した濃密さと豊かさをもつ崇高なワインです。 パーカーポイント: 96+点 予想される飲み頃：2020 - 2030 Winemaker Jason Kesner points out that this is not a barrel selection but a separate block in the vineyard with unique soils of broken shale and red volcanic ash. The 2017 Chardonnay Cuvée Cathleen is youthfully shy on the nose, opening very slowly to notes of dried apple, potpourri, hints of key lime pie and sliced apricot with accents of spring honey, toast and wet stone. Medium-bodied, the aromas bely the palate - it explodes with multilayered flavors ranging from tangy citrus to honeycomb and earthy notions of dried leaves, seamlessly framed by juicy acidity and silkily textured, finishing very long and packed with flavor. It's not pervasive, not in your face, not cloying. It has a sense of minerality and a savory component. When all those things become one and they start to blur together and you can’t pick them out - that’s when a wine becomes truly magical to me." Well done!
