Freestone-Occidental Pinot Noir 2019

Not at CHAN SHUN hall but tailgating in Oakland and the wine isn’t Kistler , it’s Freestone. — 3 years ago

Occidental Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2014

Garnet in the glass with cherries, orange rind, and licorice on the nose - the palate delivers gobs of red fruit and is quite viscous for a Pinot - this was really lovely. — 6 years ago

Cuvée Elizabeth Occidental Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

Elegant. Restrained fruit. Better values at this price point. — 7 years ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2020

A bit disjointed with too much acidity up front. Not sure if this could be attributed to the challenging 2020 growing season or not. — 6 months ago

Beautiful Pinot. I really enjoy Sonoma Coast and Freestone/Occidental in particular. Steve crafts a fine wine - it’s harmonious. — 2 years ago

Occidental Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2016

This was really something. From vines planted by Steve Kistler 30 years ago in northern Sonoma coast and near some other heavy hitting sites. Manages the neat trick of intensity without heaviness. Redolent of small berries and ocean breeze, bursting with black cherry, strawberry and rhubarb, dried flowers and spice with a whole cluster herbal quality. Was a little afraid I’d jumped the gun but nah this is ready — 4 years ago
