Mission Codename Kiss & tell
AGAIN?!!! you’re not seeing things. Pinot Noir by THE Kistler. Up for the grabs. While it lasts.
Antonio Galloni for Vinous attests that; “Jason Kesner turned out a brilliant set of wines at Kistler in 2017, some of the very finest and most consistent wines I have ever tasted here. Clearly, the wines carry considerable textural richness. and yet they are also distinct and highly expressive of site.”
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate backs that up with; “2017 was a lovely vintage at Kistler. There’s a richness, a beautiful, light layer of fat woven through the wines—a gloss, or marbling if you will, with that energy and verve…”
They are both correct, as before.
If you’re seeing this, pinch yourself. If you’re not dreaming and it’s still not sold out, GRAB WHAT YOU CAN. Again, supply is microscopic sadly, if gone please don’t inquire for more.
