Good. Better in two years. Feels like it has some dusty tannins. Dry to ripe fruits of slightly tart & sour; dark cherries, black berries, black raspberries, dry cranberries, plum & creamy raspberries. Limestone/sandstone, dark spice with some heat, clove, nutmeg, understated cinnamon & vanillin, tree bark w/ sap, herbaceousness, with bright, brilliant; dark, red, purple & some blue florals. Really nice acidity. The finish needs two plus years to be all it can be. Still a bit astringent on the long set. I am not buying in at retail but, at $50-$55 on the secondary market, I’m all in.

We had the 2014 Vintage on 2/24-25/23. We had this in a horizontal tasting with Moshin. The latter was better. This is is just a fair PN. Tart, peppery, pomegranate. Just not good

Beautiful appellation level Pinot Noir from Kistler. Bright cherries dusted in clove with dried tobacco, garden herbs, and rose petals. Lovely acidic pop and suave mouthfeel.

We had this on 5/3-4/18. A real good example of the Sonoma Coast AVA. Tastes of pomegranate, orange peel, cinnamon and spice. A well balanced, medium bodied wine.
