2022 Kistler Stone Flat Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

The 2022 Kistler Stone Flat Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a benchmark example of coastal California Chardonnay, combining precision, depth, and the signature Kistler richness in a beautifully balanced style. Sourced from one of Sonoma Coast’s most respected sites, it reflects both the cool-climate character of the vineyard and the producer’s long-standing dedication to low-yield, terroir-driven winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale gold color with a polished, luminous sheen. The nose is layered and expressive, often offering notes of citrus peel, green pear, white flowers, crushed stone, and subtle toasted oak, with a touch of saline lift that speaks to its coastal origins. On the palate, this Chardonnay is usually concentrated yet poised, with ripe orchard fruit, lemon curd, hazelnut, and a finely textured mouthfeel supported by vibrant acidity. The finish is long and elegant, with enough structure and complexity to suggest several years of positive development in bottle.

Production
Stone Flat Vineyard sits within the cool Sonoma Coast, where maritime influence, fog, and well-drained soils help preserve freshness and build aromatic complexity. Kistler is known for working with carefully selected vineyard sites and small-lot production, and the fruit is typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness before being vinified in a style that emphasizes balance, texture, and site expression, often with restrained use of oak and gentle cellar handling.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, lobster, sea bass, creamy pasta, and rich dishes like risotto or mushroom tart. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C and, if possible, allow it a little time in the glass or a short decant to let the aromatics open fully.

The winery has earned a strong reputation for precision, purity, and consistency, and is widely regarded as a reference point for premium California Chardonnay.
