Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with excellent clarity. The nose is lifted and complex, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, spice, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, expect a silky, finely textured wine with vibrant acidity, layered red fruit, savory nuance, and a long, elegant finish. This is a Pinot Noir that should develop beautifully over time, gaining complexity and secondary notes with a few years of cellar aging.

Production
Laguna Ridge offers a cool, coastal terroir that is ideal for Pinot Noir, with marine influence helping preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Kistler is known for careful vineyard selection and thoughtful harvesting, ensuring fruit is picked at optimal ripeness. Vinification is typically aimed at preserving purity of fruit, texture, and site expression, resulting in a wine of balance and finesse.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs well with roast duck, salmon, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken, and dishes with earthy or umami-driven flavors. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, and decant briefly if desired to let the aromatics open up.
