PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Occidental 2022 Freestone‑Occidental Pinot Noir captures the refined coastal elegance of the Sonoma Coast with striking clarity. It offers vibrant red fruits, saline-driven minerality, polished tannins, and a long, precise finish. Perfect for both near-term enjoyment and rewarding long-term cellaring.

🌄 Terroir & Origins

  • Sourced from multiple coastal headland vineyards in the high-elevation Freestone‑Occidental region of Sonoma Coast AVA. These steep, marine-influenced sites sit above the fog layer with deep soils and rugged topography

  • Crafted by Steve Kistler’s signature project leveraging free-run juice only, emphasizing delicacy and purity in a limited production run (~4,000 cases)


👃 Aromatics & Palate

  • Crisp, crystalline entry with bright red fruits—strawberry, cherry, red plum—lifted by flinty-mineral and saline notes

  • Structured yet elegant: a graceful balance of finesse and tension, beautifully sculpted tannins, modest alcohol (~13.3%), making it wonderfully food-friendly


🔚 Finish & Aging Potential

  • The palate finishes vibrant and long, with lingering saline-mineral accents—a hallmark of the Freestone coastal influence

  • Already approachable, yet has excellent development potential through 2030+, rewarding patience in the cellar


⭐ Recognition

  • Garnered high praise from critics and retailers: praised for its precision, purity, and lift

  • Frequently featured among top Pinot Noirs from the region, including Wine Spectator’s 2023 Top 10 lists


🍽️ Food Pairing

  • Modestly light-bodied and acidic—pairs beautifully with seared salmon, roasted pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, or charcuterie. Its coastal salinity complements a wide range of dishes elegantly.
