Kistler Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2023

Established in 1978, Kistler Vineyards stands as a pioneer in the realm of Californian winemaking, guided by the vision of founders Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler. Their belief that exceptional wines of site could thrive in California laid the foundation for a four-decade journey marked by dedication, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Kistler specializes in crafting single clone Chardonnays, with a focus on a unique heritage Californian selection planted across fifteen vineyards, spanning Carneros, Sonoma Valley, Russian River Valley, and Sonoma Coast. This dedication to site-specific wines is unparalleled in the new world, reflecting a commitment to showcasing the true essence of each vineyard.

Since the mid-1980s, Kistler has been working with a singular Chardonnay clone imported from Burgundy in the early 20th century. The selection process involves decades of refinement, emphasizing low yields, small berries, and a remarkable ability to retain natural acidity during ripening. This meticulous approach ensures a perfect balance, making the fruit the sole ingredient needed for crafting exceptional wines.

Kistler’s Pinot Noirs are informed by two heritage selections originating from a Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy. A 25-year journey of selection and refinement has led to the conclusion that both clones contribute to the richness and complexity of the wines. Similar to Chardonnay, the Pinot Noir approach emphasizes low yields, small berries, and a delicate touch to let the individual site characteristics shine through.
