Occidental (Kistler), Freestone-Occidental Vintage:2022 A brooding and intensely earthyMedium ruby purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Freestone Occidental has super intense notes of redcurrants, black raspberries, black cherries and violets with hints of dark chocolate, cinnamon stick and smoked meats plus a waft of underbrush.
