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.

Gracious and pliant, Kistler's 2013 Pinot Noir Silver Belt Cuvée Natalie is quite inviting. Expressive aromatics give the 2013 a lovely sense of lift, yet there is plenty of palate presence as well. Dark cherry, plum, spice and cola are some of the notes that are pushed forward. The Cuvée Natalie has come along nicely since I tasted it last year.
