With a fresh, citrus, apple, tropical fruit and vanilla bean character, the wine combines sweetness from ripe fruits, with ample acidity allowing the wine to provide a refreshing, sweet, ripe, fruit filled glass of wine.

Fresh, bright, lush, rich and loaded with just squeezed lemons, white peaches, pears and apples, all topped with vanilla and honeysuckle, this is already drinking quite well.

Drinking really well, with all its floral, citrus and tropical fruits in abundance. Fresh and lively, well balanced with rich, buttery characteristics.

Looking and tasting much older than its true age, while not dead, it was on its way. The wine lacked freshness and complexity in the nose and the mouth. Drink up as it's only going to get worse.

99 Kistler Cuvee Cathleen is a disaster. Cloudy and with orange tints, the dirty nose was not made better by the oxidized fruit on the palate. Clearly, this deserves to be scored DNPIM. That’s Do Not Put in Mouth.

Coffee, earth, black raspberries and jammy strawberries led into a richly textured, deep wine with silky textures. The finish ended with jammy red and black fruits, espresso and hints of citrus oil.

The debut vintage for this wine showed coffee, blackberry, smoke and truffle aromas were easy to find. This big, full bodied wine, with velvet textures, might show too much oak for some tasters. The wine at 12 years of age ended with licorice, coffee, and jammy berries.
