"The 2013 Pinot Noir Silver Belt Cuvée Natalie, from another Sonoma Coast site, shows darker fruits, more meat, black cherries and black raspberries with underbrush and spice. This should drink well for 5-7 years. The single-vineyard wines all represent much smaller quantities of wine. There have been several noticeable changes in the Kistler wines over the last few years, as they are certainly picking the Pinot Noir at an earlier date and going for less extraction, more fragrance and delicacy. The Chardonnays are still powerful wines but they have backed off the new oak to about 40%. (About 10 years ago, it was around 60%.)"
