Kistler Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2001 is a savoury and classic expression of Pinot Noir from the coastal hills of California. This producer has long focused on the influence of cool, maritime climates on varietal character, and this 2001 release exemplifies that pursuit. It showcases balanced concentration, with a core of red and blue berry fruit underpinned by subtle mineral tones. The aromatics are lifted and delicate, reflecting the producer`s restrained winemaking style during this period, which resulted in a wine that combines Californian generosity with a refined, graceful structure that rewards cellar ageing.

Vinous
Medium red-ruby. Pretty, nuanced nose combines raspberry, red cherry, flowers, earth and mint. At once dense and juicy, with lively raspberry and floral flavors complemented but not dominated by spicy oak. This should develop more complexity with bottle aging, but it's already captivating today thanks to its sappy freshness. Finishes very long and firmly tannic, with lingering raspberry and black cherry flavors. There are 1,500 cases of this wine, making it by far Kistler's largest cuvee of pinot noir.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2004
