Merchant's description

Kistler Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2011 is a vibrant and floral Pinot Noir from a cooler California vintage that allowed for exceptional aromatic clarity and freshness. Sourced primarily from the Calera clone and grown on the rugged Sonoma Coast, this 2011 bottling reflects a trend toward harvesting at lower sugars and reducing the use of new oak. It offers a high-toned profile of wild raspberries, freshly cut roses and Asian spices, underpinned by a silky texture and a distinct mineral-laced acidity. Winemaking involves 100% destemming and maturation in approximately one-third new oak, resulting in a wine of great elegance and nuance.
