2019 Kistler Silver Belt Vineyard, Cuvée Natalie, Russian River Valley

Ruby red-purple. Refined fragrance of violets, ripe dark wild raspberries and blackberries, pomegranate, tea leaves, sage and site-specific iron shavings. Annually charactered by soft red rose petals (in texture as much as aroma) and that polished silken nature is ever-present in this vintage. Full to medium fruit bodied and gracefully concentrated yet open knit, and layered. A lovely presence on the palate, poised, with a resounding sense of intensely focused purity. Bright and energetic natural acidity and soft, refined and fine-grained tannins add lift and gentle pull through the finish.
