Kistler 2002 McCrea Vineyards

We had this 9 year old wine and our first thought was that it was a bit oxidized. The color was more than buttery yellow and the note of sulfur on the nose was off putting. Once past the nose, the taste of the wine had an oaky bite and all in all was not to our liking. Is Kistler supposed to be this way or perhaps it is our uneducated palates?
We store all of our wines either in a temperature controlled EuroCave or in our basement. Could temperature flucturations have affected it's flavor? We were disappointed.
