April 30, 2024 - Nine years in, still very primary: raspberry and violet. No savoryness.
December 12, 2023 - Brilliant crystalline red fruit and bright acidity.
November 23, 2023 - Bright cherry, violets, some oak and not much else. Good acid and easy tannin. Probably the lightest-bodied Kistler pinot noir we’ve ever had and also the least complex by a long shot. Well made but unremarkable.
5.5/10
October 10, 2023 - I wasn't a huge fan of this wine when it was young. With age this is excellent!
August 19, 2023 - Good but way overpriced
March 31, 2023 - The notes before now were spot on. Nothing but a solid wine from our end. I have one more of these. gonna save it for 2025. i'm sure this beauty could stretch even longer.
October 23, 2022 - We had a Pinot tasting with the couples wine club last night. This wine was the clear winner in the blind tasting. Had great structure and balance from start to finish. Well done!
July 3, 2022 - At home over two nights. Bright ruby, translucent. Prominent nose of raspberries and cherries. Fairly full-bodied with fresh red and black fruit flavors, very smooth, not tannic. The first night some bitterness on the late palate but none the second night. Good acidity, medium aftertaste. Very pleasant and drinkable but not profound. Our only bottle. Overpriced for what's in the glass...prefer Hansel North Slope for much less.

April 21, 2022 - Bright red cherries. Nice acidity. Big wine but not heavy or over the top at all. Solid tannins and structure. This will benefit from a few more years but already delicious. Great balance.
October 5, 2021 - Incredible wine.
