Wine of the night? Think YES! Steven Kistler does it Right. Bright fruit, gorgeous flavor profile. This is a first but not the last of this Pinot Noir with friends at Il Villagio in Cherry Hill with friends Ray , Rose, Ralph, Charlene, Ken, Sue , Karen and I. If you have the Dough$$ I would seek out this unbelievable Pinot! CB 99!!

This is from Occidental, the offshoot of Kistler for solely Pinot Noir. Nose of red fruit & minerals, body of cherry, minerals and a hint of orange peel with deep long finish

Other than Wayfarer Pinot noir, Occidental is hands down the Rolls Royce of Pinots. Full flavor, robust, and very exotic. It’s a perfect gift to give for someone who loves their Pinot noirs. Get them while you can because wine shops do not sell these by the case. At an average of $65-$70 per bottle, it’s a premium but their quality is unique and hard to find. You won’t be disappointed.

Not a fancy label, but a fancy Pinot indeed. Delicious, bright acid, ripe cherry, rhubarb, cola. The 2012 is ready to drink now... Cooler cellars might can handle another 3-4 years, but why wait?

Aug 18th, 2017Cola, mineral, light cherry overtones. Delicious. Ready to go after 5 years, could go a little longer. Label: Occidental SWK Vineyard 2012 14.1% ABV. # S01079

Wow. By far the best California Pinot Noir I have tested. It's got a lot more boldness up front than French pinots, but then it hits you with all the french pinot characteristic.
