Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Such a pretty wine violets and roses, red cherry, cranberry.

In honor of National Pinot Day. What a fun project from Steve Kistler. One of the best Cali Pinots I’ve had in some time.

The Sonoma Coast can be unforgiving. Fog and severe rain coming in from the ocean are commonplace. Despite the adversity, the region can yield sensational Pinot Noirs that should not be missed. The 2014 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is a tremendous appellation level Pinot. Deep, textured and resonant, the 2014 possesses striking depth and elegance not to mention impeccable overall balance. Succulent red cherry, smoke, licorice and blood orange infuse this deeply expressive Pinot Noir from Steve Kistler's Occidental winery. Readers who can find the 2014 should not hesitate.

Lush cherry up front with a bright cranberry finish. Tart and lively on the side palate.

This was a show stopper. Tasted over three days, it never slowed down. Really deep, so much spice, so many layers, lush and the right amount of that coastal funk that I really enjoy. The tits.

Cranberry and spice. Nice Sonoma Coast Character

One of the top three from our Collector's dinner! Baked cherries, spices that explode in your mouth - perhaps, I should have another to confirm 🍷🍷🍷

Nice. Ripe but balancing the oak

Great Pinot that I would like to have in ten years or so

PN produced by Kistler. Really lovely!!! Concentrated and ripe fruit with good acidity
