Kistler's 'Cuvée Natalie' from the Silver Belt Vineyard is an absolute beauty in 2017. Extremely aromatic and expressive, this stunning Pinot Noir opens to bright aromatics of bing cherries, raspberry cordial, muddled wild berries, black tea and leather alongside fresh mint, lavender and violets which all emerge in wonderful harmony from the glass. This continues to impress with its incredible overall balance and gorgeous finesse as the silky tannins flow gracefully across the palate leaving behind beautiful flavors of red/dark fruits and exotic spices that come together with minerals and earthy characteristics which linger effortlessly on the long finish. While utterly striking in its youth, this still has amazing potential to age for many years to come.
