A few days ago, we had our friends over for a seafood tagine dinner. She brought over the 2002 Kistler Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay. The color was a goldie lemon and spoke to me of a little bit of oxidation. This can be a good thing or a flaw. Taste is an individual thing and with wine, most often, it is the combination of the wine and the food that it's served with that creates the impression...the memory. My friend and I agreed that it was heavenly with the tagine. With 10 years of age on the wine, it was very well integrated and had flavors of apricots and honey! On the bottom left hand corner of the label you can see that this was No. 3690 of only 6540 bottles (545 cases) made in 2002.
