| | Qty=2Size=750 ml, RP[94]"Despite the season’s wildfires and extreme heat, the 2020 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine is drinking beautifully, though it has tightened since I first tasted it in 2023. “We really were just lucky here,” Steve Kistler says, “with that churn of wind off the ocean to flush things out, and we pick early. We started picking a day before the fires started and had everything in before smoke became part of the conversation.” Medium ruby in color, it requires plenty of air to segue from initial wafts of graphite to pomegranate, blackberry, aniseed and Earl Grey tea leaves on the nose. The light-bodied palate offers ethereal flavors framed by powdery tannins and tangy acidity, and it has a long, juicy finish." - Erin Brooks, robertparker.com (Jan 16, 2025) |
