Packed with acidity. Bright fruit. Minerality also comes through. Super cool.

Agree with other raters. Lighter, more acidity and mineralty. Beautiful fruit

Too light bodied for my tastes - light tart red fruits and minerality. A nice wine but bit too much acidity.

Trying out Stanford Wine Class. Pulled out three Pinots to taste test. I *loved* the old Kistler Pinots with their dark color, thick jammy viscosity and forest floor notes. The shift towards a lighter more typical Pinot while nice just doesn't make me go wow. It's nice but just that.

Aromatic with a long finish.. Just what you would expect from Stephen Kistler! Can't wait to try this wine again in 5 years...
