Occidental Running Fence Vineyard Cuvee Catherine Pinot Noir 2016 is drawn from a distinguished vineyard in the Sonoma Coast AVA. Developed by Occidental Wines, founded by Steve Kistler, this wine reflects the challenges of cultivating grapes in a steep coastal environment. The vineyard boasts shallow, rocky marine sediment soils, directly influencing the wine`s profile. This expression of Pinot Noir is produced using traditional methods, including hand-harvesting and native yeast fermentation. Aged in French oak, it offers a precise structure, firm acidity and complex flavours that can evolve over time, showcasing the region`s unique terroir.

A new wine in this range, the 2016 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine is sourced from Steve Kistler's Bodega Ridge estate, where the Occidental winery is located. Blood orange, red raspberry, mint, dried flowers and star anise are all laced together in this very pretty, expressive Pinot Noir. The 2016 is translucent and wonderfully energetic at the outset, but then gains volume with time in the glass. It is another gorgeous and highly nuanced wine in the range. Antonio Galloni1st May 2019
