Kistler Vineyards, 2002 Kistler Vineyard Pinot Noir

This was a first taste of a Kistler Pinot. My brother Jeff and I split a bottle last Saturday. What I can say is all wine should be like this. Once again, Alexa gives it thumbs up on the nose (I feel sorry for the first guy that takes her out on a dinner date that includes wine). Lots of fruit flavor, a little forward, but not at all over powering. The flavor is blackberry and black cherry, with a syrupy feel in your mouth. Finishes long, slightly tannic, but will soften later. Delicious now, perfect in a year.
