Her er West Sonoma Coast i fuld figur. Catherine-Elizabeth Inc. “Running Fence Vineyard” Pinot Noir kommer fra Occidentals kystnære Bodega Ridge – et højtliggende, vindomsust plateau på samme højderyg som Bodega Headlands med fri udsigt mod Stillehavet. Catherine-Elizabeth er den juridiske ramme bag Occidental, så når navnet står på etiketten, er det din nøgle til Steve Kistlers præcisionsdrevne Pinot-univers fra Californiens yderkant.
Vinmarken er skabt til kølig, rank Pinot. Jorden er forvitret sandsten – mere gruset og med lavere vandkapacitet end i Bodega Headlands – hvilket naturligt begrænser væksten og giver små, koncentrerede klaser. Der er plantet på Riparia Gloire, en sjældent brugt, stærkt svækkende grundstamme, der forkorter vækstsæsonen og fremmer tidlig modning; en nøgle på disse marginale, kystnære steder. Markarbejdet følger bevidst burgundisk forbillede med enkelstok-beskæring og forsøg med dæksæd, så vinstokkene selv balancerer udbyttet omkring to pund frugt pr. stok. Hver lille parcel høstes og gæres separat, og siden 2016 har Running Fence været aftappet som selvstændig enkeltmark – en nedre del af Bodega Ridge – mens kælderen midt i markerne stod klar fra 2013. Alt sammen for at fange nuancerne i hældning, eksponering og jordbund så rent som muligt.
Stilmæssigt er Running Fence signatur-Occidental: lysende, løftet frugt med maritimt greb. På tværs af årgange beskrives vinen ofte med røde og mørke bær (jordbær, kirsebær, brombær) flankeret af blodappelsin-citrus, krydderi og en diskret, “salt/søtangs-agtig” kant fra kystklimaet. Teksturen er silkestrimlet og tanninerne fintmønstrede, mens en kalket, stenet mineralitet strammer afslutningen op. Det er ikke en Pinot, der jagter volumen; den lever af energi, præcision og længde.
I glasset er den derfor lige så meget stemning som smag: Nerverne fra kysten, den rene, kølige frugt og en fornemmelse af havbrise, der gør, at man næsten kan se tågen rulle ind over højderyggen. Server ved 14–15 °C i store Bourgogneglas for at give duft og tekstur plads. Maden? Tænk grillet laks eller rødtunge med brunet smør og kapers, kylling med svampe, svamperavioli eller andebryst med rødbede og appelsin. Vinen er helstøbt ung, men har struktur til at udvikle flere lag af skovbund, teblad og krydderi over nogle år – tempoet afhænger naturligvis af årgang og opbevaring.
99 points The Wine PalateMedium to deep ruby-purple colored, the 2021 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvee Catherine is a little closed to start, slowly unfurling to reveal notes of juicy blackberries, boysenberries, and black raspberries, giving way to wafts of tar, damp soil, moss, and, eventually, lilacs. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound and super-intense, delivering a racy backbone and fine-grained tannins to support the earth-laced black fruit flavors, finishing long and minerally.

98 points Robert ParkerThe 2021 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine offers tremendous energy and purity and will be long lived in the cellar. The nose features soaring scents of wild cherry, cranberry, bitter orange, hibiscus, graphite and botanicals. It floods the mouth with layer after layer of detailed, floral fruit. It has an haute couture structure, its powdery tannins and linear acidity seamlessly nestled into generous, nuanced flavors, and a tremendously long, dynamic finish.
