1998 Kistler Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Italian Then there are forest fruits"There are 500 cases of the super concentrated, full bodied, fat, luscious, dark purple colored 1998 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard. Made from the Calera clone, it offers a juicy, black cherry, berry, earth, mineral, and spice scented nose. In the mouth, beef blood and black fruits are present, along with copious fat, glycerin, and moderate tannin. A sumptuous Pinot Noir." 96 100 Wine Advocate
