Bright deep red-ruby color. Sappy, precise aromas of raspberry, black cherry, licorice and spices. Then superripe in the mouth, with roasted yet fresh flavors of raspberry and strawberry. Rather elegantly styled pinot, finishing with firm tannins and subtle, lingering red fruit flavors.

Profound, the 1999 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard exhibits floral, black raspberry, berry, and earth notes. The wine is strikingly rich, with a velvety texture underpinned by good acidity, full body as well as superb density, purity, and equilibrium. This magnificent Pinot Noir should age for a decade.

Drinking beautifully, but plenty of time left. Smooth and deliciou8s with smoky lavender-like notes on the long finish. California pinot doesn't get much better than this.
