A new project owned and managed by Steve Kistler, Occidental has 18 acres of Pinot Noir planted primarily with the Calera clone on low yielding root stock Riparia Gloire. The vineyard, situated in the Petaluma Gap, is extremely windy and cold. As readers may know, a majority interest in Kistler Vineyards was recently sold to entrepreneur Bill Price, and Steve Kistler, who will continue to consult at Kistler Vineyards, decided he wanted to have his own estate.

| Robert Parker | 100 RP - Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir SWK Vineyard has a slowly unfolding fragrance of blood orange, cranberry jelly, rhubarb, iodine and pipe tobacco, blossoming to new layers with each return to the glass. The medium-bodied palate begins with a saline, iodine-like character before unfurling layer after layer of deep red fruit and accents of mushroom and forest floor. Energetic yet graceful, it boasts a refined, elegant tannic structure, seamless acidity and tremendously detailed flavors on the extended finish. Its ethereal, earthy perfume echos the scents of a California forest and offers that touch of magic that really takes this wine to the next level. |
