Sweet, ripe red fruits, overpowered.

Didn’t know Kistler was in the Pinot business until this showed up from WB…and while a very good one, not up to Kistler’s level in Chardonnay…very nicely fruit forward, but a little too sparkly at the front and a little too wooden at the back. Solid but not exceptional….falls short of Loring & Testarrossa

2018 vintage. A bit muted and lighter than previous Kistler Pinots I’ve had going back three decades. Decanted and tasted 15 mins-1.5 hours later. Light-medium body. Not showing much currently. Could be in a dumb phase as there were no obvious signs of abuse or TCA. 2.2.24.
