2017 Occidental-Kistler Vineyards 'Cuvee Catherine' Running Fence Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

The 2017 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine comes from the first sections Steve Kistler planted at his Occidental property beginning in 2012. It has a medium ruby color and opens with notes of graphite over dried violets, blood orange, saline and licorice. The palate manages full, perfectly ripe fruit character with loads of nuance and liveliness, finishing long, layered and uplifted." - Erin Brooks, robertparker.com (Jul 23, 2020)
