A beautiful fresh scent of pink flowers that over time has rounded out with a sweet cream aroma. On the palate, it has a nice weight to it, smooth and silky, cinnamon and clove notes, layered underneath cranberry fruit. Acid and alcohol tingle the tongue tip. Ends with fresh grape finish. Really nice. Elegant even.

Kistler continues to impress with every vintage. Notes of blackberry, plum, very jammy. Low acidity. Highly recommend!

I’m still not sure I’ve ever had a better Pinot. Was nervous to try 2018 Vintage and was prepared to be let down but nope! So smooth and flavorful.
