Kistler Pinot Noir Silver Belt Cuvee Natalie 2022
A vivid and expressive Pinot Noir, delivering a compelling balance of depth and brightness. Aromatically, it opens with a touch of earthiness, giving way to layers of ripe black cherry, cola, and a whisper of wild game. On the palate, the wine is rich and saturated, showcasing deep flavors of sarsaparilla, blood orange, and wet forest floor. A subtle sauvage adds intrigue without overpowering the wine’s core of juicy cherry and lifted acidity. The finish is long, bright, and textural, with a lingering echo of dark fruit and savory spice. This is a Pinot that walks the line between wild and polished and its absolutely captivating.
