Occidental (Kistler), Freestone-Occidental Vintage:2019 This should be a classic

This should be a classic Latour Corton-Charlemagne in time

concentrated and packed with sweet

there is a very subtle hint of volatile acidity that adds lift to the mildly woody but exuberantly spicy dark berry fruit nose

I very much like the sense of proportion and harmony

Occidental (Kistler), Freestone-Occidental Vintage:2019 This should be a classicMedium ruby purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Freestone Occidental has super intense notes of redcurrants, black raspberries, black cherries and violets with hints of dark chocolate, cinnamon stick and smoked meats plus a waft of underbrush. Wonderfully elegant in the mouth with vibrant black and red fruits, earth and savory layers, it has a firm frame of finely grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long with an exciting herbal lift.
