Occidental (Kistler) Occidental Station Vineyard Sonoma Valley

California

Sonoma Valley

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2020 Occidental Station Vineyard slowly unfurls to reveal notes of cranberry sauce, black raspberries, and rhubarb, followed by hints of graphite, red roses, forest floor, and cast-iron pan. The medium-bodied palate is so, so fine and elegant, with fruit so energetic it vibrates, leading to a very long mineral and floral-paved finish.

Intensely aromatic with spice and cherry with an acidic tinge. Initially, a slightly scorched top note - a tint from the 2020 wildfires, perhaps - diminishing with air. Saturated rasp- and blackberry flavors, violet and cranberry, with a sparkling, lingering finish. 93 with definitive upside if the scorched aroma is a bug rather than a feature.

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Occidental Station Vineyard charges out with gregarious scents of wild blueberries and black cherry preserves, leading to wafts of underbrush, cloves, incense, and potpourri. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers wonderful energy and brightness with a racy line and fine-grained tannins providing great structure, finishing long with beautiful purity.

Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the 2021 Pinot Noir Occidental Station Vineyard needs a lot of swirling to coax out delicate notes of cranberries, fresh red currants, and wild strawberries, followed by nuances of violets, underbrush, and moss, plus a fragrant hint of wild thyme. The medium-bodied palate vibrates with energetic red berry and mineral layers, framed by firm yet super fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension, finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful!
