2021 Kistler Vineyards Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, California

The 2021 Kistler Vineyards Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast, California, reflects the elegance and intensity that define this renowned cool-climate region. Kistler brings together fruit from coastal vineyards influenced by Pacific Ocean fog and cool breezes, creating a Pinot Noir with concentrated fruit, aromatic complexity and refreshing natural acidity. The 2021 vintage was marked by dry growing conditions and mild temperatures, helping preserve the wine’s purity, freshness and definition. Fermented with native yeasts and aged for 10 months in French oak, with 35% new barrels, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The aromatic profile features wild berries, dark cherry and blueberry, complemented by lifted violet notes and subtle savory nuances. On the palate, concentrated fruit meets vibrant acidity and fine structure, creating a balanced wine with depth and an elegant, lingering finish. Its combination of ripe berry character, floral aromatics and coastal freshness makes it a versatile choice for both special dinners and relaxed evenings. Pair it with roasted duck, grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken, pork tenderloin or mushroom dishes.
