2015 Kistler "Laguna Ridge Vineyard" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2015 Kistler "Laguna Ridge Vineyard" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (98VN, 96WE, 94RP). Vinous: "The 2015 Pinot Noir Laguna Ridge (formerly Kistler Vineyard) is just as riveting from bottle as it was from tank. Inky, deep and explosive, the 2015 hits the palate with a rush of blue/purplish fruit, creme de cassis, lavender, menthol, game, white flowers and incense. Vivid and spectacularly rich, this full-throttle Pinot has so much to offer. The tannins need time to soften, but all the elements are in the right place. A flourish of floral and savory notes add the closing layers of complexity. (AG)" (04/2018)
