The vineyards are Certified Sustainable. All Occidental vineyards are grafted with proprietary massale selections developed over three decades by Steve Kistler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Freestone-Occidental pinot noir includes a blend of fruit from our Bodega Headlands, Occidental Station, and Bodega Ridge vineyards. It also shares the same winemaking techniques as our vineyard-designated pinot noirs. All our pinot noirs are fermented with native yeasts and native Malo-Lactic bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottling expresses the same energy, precision, and purity of flavor that gives all of Occidental’s wines lift and perfume, along with the deeper soil tones that contribute to its complexity. Made entirely from free-run juice, it is delicious now and will develop nicely in bottle. Currently available in restaurants and very few selected retail stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes from the Winemaker:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 Freestone-Occidental wine shares the same winemaking techniques as our vineyard designated pinot noirs. Crystalline, bright, mouthwatering, and a bit salty with a saline mineral finish, the 2024 Freestone-Occidental evokes juicy red berries and a near perfect balance of finesse and energy – of bright, primary red fruits and saline elements. It conveys outstanding precision and lift in the mouth and finishes vibrant and long with beautifully sculpted tannins. Its modest alcohol (12.8%) makes this wine a perfect complement to any meal. It is delicious now and will develop nicely in bottle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHAMBERS \u0026 CHAMBERS","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53167394095469,"sku":null,"price":74.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/USOCPN23AE.jpg?v=1742771768","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/occidental-by-steve-kistler-freestone-occidental-pinot-noir-2024-west-sonoma-coast-california","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
