The 2022 Kistler Vineyards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a refined Pinot Noir from California's cool-climate Sonoma Coast, crafted by Kistler Vineyards. Sourced from carefully selected coastal vineyards, the wine is made using native fermentation, aged for 10 months in French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its purity and sense of place. Aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, rose petals and orange zest are complemented by subtle notes of crushed granite and coastal minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and exceptional balance. Layers of red cherry, raspberry and pomegranate are supported by delicate earthy notes and a lingering saline finish, giving the wine remarkable freshness and precision. The 2022 vintage highlights Kistler's signature combination of elegance, purity and ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for lovers of premium Californian Pinot Noir with finesse and complexity. Pair it with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or herb-roasted chicken. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar for 8–12 years to develop greater savoury depth and elegance.
