Kistler Vineyards 2002 Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay

I bought six bottles of this wine blind (had not tasted this vintage). Lisa and I tried the first bottle the week we got it, we were very disappointed. It seemed overly acidic and out of balance, not what you expect from Steve Kistler. A couple of months have passed and we had the second bottle last weekend. What a change a couple of months can make. Lots of fruit (not citrus) slightly oily texture, and a long mineral finish. The vineyard tasting note says “Delicious now”, but I think it will be much better in a year. I am hanging on to my remaining bottles for at least six months.
