Occidental (Steve Kistler) Bodega Ridge Vineyard 2022

The 2022 Pinot Noir Bodega Ridge Vineyard has layered aromas of cranberry sauce, Earl Grey tea leaves, bitters and foresty undertones, and it becomes more floral as it airs in the glass. The palate derives power from its sheer concentration of pure, expressive, spicy fruit. It’s structured by powdery tannins, and its tremendously juicy, mouthwatering acidity lures you back again and again for another sip.
