Occidental is the single-vineyard winemaking project of Californian legend, Steve Kistler. The SWK Vineyard is found in the northwest corner of the Bodega Headlands and is planted with Pinot Noir clones derived from two grand cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. The 2014 is a brilliant release of delightfully pure fruit, lifted savoury perfume, tightly-knit structure and wonderful overall elegance.

The 2014 Pinot Noir SWK Vineyard is the most reticent of these Pinots, as it was last year. Intense fruit and structure come together, but the wine is not at all ready to give everything it has. Dark red and purplish fruit overtones are lifted by the wine's bright acidity and tannic underpinnings. This nervous, taut Pinot needs a few years to settle down, but it has tremendous promise.
