It’s sufficiently slight however and I suspect few readers would find it off-putting and with age

black currants and black cherries with suggestions of black pepper

Already quite soft and round on the front palate with fine tannins only on the very end

with superb clarity and power to the black raspberry and boysenberry flavors

(a bourdon is a bumblebee)

Occidental (Kistler), Running Fence Vineyard Cuvee Catherine Vintage:2017 It’s sufficiently slight however andThe 2019 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuve Catherine is magical. Singular and detailed, it unfolds slowly on the nose, iodine and seaweed give way to pomegranate, cranberry, woodsmoke, lavender and wild fennel aromas. The palate is seamless and pure, its dynamic flavors framed by powdery tannins and vibrant, lip smacking acidity, and it has a hauntingly long finish. It will be long lived in the cellar.
