2020 Laguna Ridge Pinot Noir

Tasting notes
The 2020 Pinot Noir Laguna Ridge is one of the highlights in this range from Kistler. It offers up generous red/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, rose petal, mint, spice and hard candy. There's a good bit of exuberance, or at least as much as it was possible in 2020. Here, though, the fruit was picked a day later than originally intended because lightning strikes began the night before.

Formerly labelled as the Kistler Vineyard, the 2020 Pinot Noir Laguna Ridge Vineyard is fleshed out with classic Russian River Valley appeal with cola, black cherry, and forest floor. The palate is structured with underlying tension, and notes of raspberry liqueur, orange peel, and turned earth.
About the producer
Kistler’s Chardonnays are some of the world’s most sought-after. This cult Californian producer crafts small volumes of exceptional, rich and generous, yet mineral and precise wines. With almost the entire production sold directly to their mailing list, the wines are also incredibly hard to find.
