Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2010 Kistler "Kistler Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (93RP, 93VN, 93WS). Vinous: "Bright ruby. Spicy cherry, dark berry and black cardamom aromas show very good energy and impressive precision.

Wine Advocate
“Ash, game, tar, licorice, incense and dark cherries are some of the notes that emerge from the 2010 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard. A pretty, soft, understated wine, the 2010 also has a hint of wildness running through it. At present, the 2010 is a bit compact, but I very much like the sense of grace here. Sweet floral notes reappear on the finish, adding a burst of freshness and vivacity to a finish underpinned by lovely streaks of saline minerality. In 2010 yields were too low for Kistler to bottle the Cuvee Elizabeth Pinot. The little fruit that came in was blended into the Kistler Vineyard Pinot. (AG)” (07/2013)

Wine Spectator
“Intense and full-bodied, with creamy oak, dark berry, cedar and spice flavors, this is a powerful expression of Pinot Noir. Best served by cellar time, this will only gain and hold from here. Not shy on tannins. (JL)” (09/2013)
