2013 Occidental-Kistler Vineyards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

The 2013 Occidental–Kistler Vineyards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir showcases the cool-climate elegance of California’s far-western Sonoma Coast. From one of Steve Kistler’s acclaimed vineyard sites, this Pinot Noir reflects meticulous, low-intervention winemaking focused on balance and site expression. Layers of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry mingle with notes of rose petal, forest floor, and subtle baking spice. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity carry a long, graceful finish. Pair it with roasted duck, cedar-planked salmon, mushroom risotto, or aged soft cheeses for a refined, food-friendly experience.
