Tasting Notes

Marked by high-toned red fruit aromas of cranberry, currant and wild strawberry, this multi-dimensional Pinot from Russian River shows all of the complexity in its array of baking spice, clove and purple flowers and a classic but subtle hint of cola. Dry with a refreshing acidity, the palate is defined by its high-toned fruit and spice box complexity that continues through the finish.

The Producer

Kistler

Perhaps it’s no surprise it’s made from the legendary vines that Steve Kistler planted over twenty years ago. He carried these planting back from the great grand crus of Burgundy and these plantings revolutionized California Pinot Noir.

They were instrumental in winemakers in the Russian River valley being able to showcase the rich intensity that the terroir provides, with spellbinding acidity and elegance. Ultimately, this wine is a shining example of carefully farmed Russian River Pinot Noir being able to rival the best Pinot from anywhere in the world.

Kistler's Pinot is enthralling in its youth, but it's ability to age sets it apart from the rest. Ironically their ability to age has to do with the fact that they do almost nothing to the grapes once in the winery, allowing the free run juice to be vinified without any additions - and allowing the terroir to come to the forefront. Having opened an outstanding bottle of 2005 over the holidays, I can assure you that these are some of California's greatest Pinot Noirs in their youth, and some of the worlds greatest wines with age.
