2022 Cuvee Natalie Pinot Noir
Notes
Medium Ruby-Purple. Elegant perfumes of violets, crushed rose petals, wild red and blackberries, with its keystone site-specific iron shavings-like mineral tone and early touches of forest floor. Medium bodied, palate filling fruit with a youthful buoyancy. Finessed, pure, multilayered and beguiling. Tightly threaded with ultra-fine tannins and a long, lasting and impression leaving finish.

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Silver Belt Vineyard Cuvee Natalie bursts from the glass with an evocative perfume of violets, red roses, and fallen leaves leading to a core of pomegranate, black raspberries, and black cherries plus a touch of garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate is satiny smooth and refreshing, delivering loads of black and red berry layers with a powdery texture and long, perfumed finish.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Silver Belt Vineyard Cuvée Natalie is a pretty, delicate wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red-toned fruit, mint, blood orange and feral overtones give this mid-weight Pinot lovely bright notes to match its understated personality. There's terrific brightness and energy here. This a pretty restrained style for Kistler, but the 2022 does gain on volume with aeration.

A solid and beautiful pinot with blueberry, oyster shell, iodine and seaweed aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with a leanness and lengthy that shows coolness. Racy and finely polished. Why wait? But this will age beautifully.

From the Silver Belt Vineyard, the 2022 Pinot Noir Cuvee Natalie is a youthful and saturated ruby hue and offers expressive notes of cinnamon, wildflowers, ripe cherries, and wild forest and alpine herbs. Long on the palate, it’s weightless and elegant, with a spicy profile, ripe, fine tannins, mouthwatering, fresh acidity, and stemmy spices through the finish. Drink 2026-2004. 13,000 bottles produced.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Cuvée Natalie Silver Belt Vineyard is expressive and detailed on the nose. Pomegranate and rhubarb are accented by porcini mushrooms, cinnamon and autumn leaves. The palate is soft, silky and mouthwatering, delivering complex, bitters-laced flavors and a long, spicy finish. This juicy, delicate style is immediately approachable. |
