Occidental (Kistler), Running Fence Vineyard Cuvee Catherine other_regions spice and a very linearThe 2019 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuve Catherine is magical. Singular and detailed, it unfolds slowly on the nose, iodine and seaweed give way to pomegranate, cranberry, woodsmoke, lavender and wild fennel aromas.
