Chardonnay
Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast Estate
The estate flagship — from Steve Kistler's own Vine Hill Road vineyard. Consistently one of the highest-scoring California Chardonnays ever produced. Requires mailing list access.

★★★★☆
Chardonnay
McCrea Vineyard Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast
From the high-elevation McCrea Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain — mineral, precise, and showing the cool-climate character that makes Kistler's sourcing decisions so extraordinary.

★★★★☆
Chardonnay
Dutton Ranch Chardonnay
Russian River Valley
From the legendary Dutton family's RRV vineyards — showing the warmer, more generously fruited character of Westside Road fruit in the Kistler minimal-intervention style.

★★★★☆
Pinot Noir

Russian River Valley
Kistler Pinot Noir — applying the same single-vineyard sourcing philosophy and Burgundian winemaking approach to California's most challenging red grape.
