Product Description
VM94 "Vivid red. Drop-dead gorgeous perfume of raspberry preserves, Asian spices and fresh rose, with a deeper suggestion of violet. Sappy, penetrating and pure, with strikingly intense red fruit flavors underpinned by tangy minerality. Finishes with resonating spiciness and a lingering floral note. This wine's clarity is striking." JR for VM Jun 2011
"The 2008 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard exhibits lots of wild berry fruit intermixed with graphite, herb and spring flower notes in its medium-bodied, luscious style. The 2008 is more open-knit and richer than the 2009 from this site." RP Feb 2011
This producer makes a 'Kistler Vineyard' Pinot Noir and a Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. The 'Kistler Vineyard' Pinot Noir, produced since 2000, changed AVA from Russian River Valley to Sonoma Coast in 2006.
