Description
2016 Occidental-Kistler Vineyards 'Occidental Station Vineyard' Pinot Noir, California, USARP 94 | ROBERT PARKERSteve Kistler says this is the warmest and most inland of his sites and that this is usually the first fruit to be picked. Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Occidental Station Vineyard opens with black tea leaf, saline, black cherry, dried rose petal, rhubarb, warm cranberries and a touch of smoke with black raspberries, warm earth and dried herbs hints. Light to medium-bodied, it packs in the savory fruits with focused intensity, framed by soft, fine-grained tannins and juicy freshness and finishing very long and layered. |
AG 94 | VINOUS (ANTONIO GALLONI)The 2016 Pinot Noir Occidental Station is another stand out in this range. High-toned, aromatically expressive and silky, the 2016 is incredibly harmonious. Today, the Occidental Station is the most open-knit and sensual of the wines, which makes it easier to drink on the earlier side. Silky tannins add to the wine's considerable appeal. The inclusion of 25% whole clusters adds nuance throughout. |
