Aroma: Deeply-pitched aromas of purple fruits, graphite and cassis. Mouth Feel: A stony minerality energizes and elevates the palate, which features an impressive array of red and black fruit flavors. Delivers great intensity and concentration without giving any impression of weight. Finishes vibrant and long with a delicate violet and blackcurrant perfume. This wine comes from the best blocks of the Occidental Station Vineyard, which have been the source of our Cuvée Catherine bottling for nearly fifteen years. The site was planted by Steve Kistler in 1999.
