Kistler Pinot Noir Cuvee Natalie Silver Belt Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2018 750ml

Kistler Vineyards is one of California's benchmark producers of Burgundian-style Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Cuvée Natalie comes from the Silver Belt Vineyard on the cool Sonoma Coast. The 2018 vintage was long, mild and generous, giving fruit with both ripeness and freshness. Wine Advocate, Jeb Dunnuck, Vinous and Wine Spectator all rated it highly. Dunnuck called it "the more delicate, cool-climate styled release" of Kistler's Pinots, with redcurrants, black raspberries, rose petals, gunpowder and forest notes. Destemmed and raised in 40% new French oak, it is medium-bodied, elegant and beautifully balanced, and it should continue to evolve for 10 to 15 years or more.
