Occidental (Steve Kistler) Running Fence Vineyard Cuvee Catherine 2019

The 2019 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine is just as exceptional as its 2018 counterpart, offering an energetic, finely detailed expression with the deep red fruit and amaro-like spices characteristic of this vineyard. It has a medium ruby color and singular, continually shifting aromas of orange, rhubarb and cranberry and tones of wildflowers, pipe tobacco, iodine and amaro. The medium-bodied palate boasts fine, powdery tannins, bursts of fresh acidity and extraordinarily pure, detailed flavors that define the very long, ethereal finish.
