Occidental (Kistler), Running Fence Vineyard Cuvee Catherine other_regions They used 80% new barrelsThe 2019 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuve Catherine is magical. Singular and detailed, it unfolds slowly on the nose, iodine and seaweed give way to pomegranate, cranberry, woodsmoke, lavender and wild fennel aromas. The palate is seamless and pure, its dynamic flavors framed by powdery tannins and vibrant, lip smacking acidity, and it has a hauntingly long finish. It will be long lived in the cellar.
