Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine comes from the first sections Steve Kistler planted at his Occidental property beginning in 2012. It has a medium ruby color and opens with notes of graphite over dried violets, blood orange, saline and licorice. The palate manages full, perfectly ripe fruit character with loads of nuance and liveliness, finishing long, layered and uplifted.

Producer Information

Occidental Winery is a brand of Pinot Noir wines, produced by Steve Kistler in the Sonoma Coast subregion of California. It was founded in 2011 by Steve Kistler, the founder and previous winemaker of the cult-status Kistler Vineyards for 37 years. The current portfolio is composed of five single-vineyard bottlings. In the winery, each plot is kept seperate throughout the fermentation process with higher portions of whole clusters kept when the incidence of millerandage is high.The temperature of the cellar initiates fermentation with wild yeasts from the vineyard and winery. The wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined with minimal additions of sulfur dioxide.
