Pinot Noir, Running Fence Cuvée Catherine, Sonoma Coast, Occidental (Kistler)

Note:

The 2017 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine is drinking beautifully! The nose is bursting with singular scents of sage, wild fennel and tea leaves that complement wild cherry, blackberry, bitter orange, tobacco and mushroom. The palate balances generous layers of berry fruit with shimmery, lip-smacking acidity that draws you back to the glass for another sip. It’s structured by powdery tannins and finishes with a flourish of bitters and spice. Erin Brooks
