Although a blend of three sites, the winemaking is the same as in the single-vineyard bottlings: native-yeast fermentation, free-run juice only, nothing forced. What you get is bright, crystalline Pinot with juicy red fruit, electric acidity, and a saline mineral finish that you simply cannot force.\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Skurnik Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48171952111864,"sku":"20575","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3541.jpg?v=1775254548","url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/2023-occidental-kistler-freestone-occidental-sonoma-coast","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
