Wassy'sでKistler(キスラー)のKistler VineyardやCuvee Catherine(キュヴェ・キャサリン)のピノが複数ヴィンテージ入荷しています。米国の価格と比べると高いのですが,普通のKistler Vineyardは米国で100ドル台前半まで下落しているので,どうせ買うなら高いですが,価格差1万円くらいで評価が高いキュヴェ・キャサリンでしょう。いずれも1,2本なので多分明日には売り切れるだろうと思います。早い者勝ち。

2003~2005と並ぶ中,一押しは2005年。評価も高いですし,キスラーのピノは熟成を楽しむのが難しく,若いうちに飲んだほうが楽しめそうだからです。ちなみにRobert Parkerのコメントは

2005年
The 2005 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard Cuvee Catherine Occidental Station boasts a dark ruby/purple-tinged color as well as gorgeous aromas reminiscent of a DRC Grands Echezeaux. Spring flower, blueberry, raspberry, cherry, and forest floor aromas soar from the glass of this medium to full-bodied Pinot. With superb finesse, elegance, and the grace of a ballerina, this beauty can be enjoyed over the next 10-12 years.

2004年
The 2004 Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard Cuvee Catherine Occidental Station boasts a glorious dark ruby/purple-tinged color as well as an extraordinary nose reminiscent of a Comte de Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes. Aromas of crushed rocks, violets, raspberries, sweet cherries, and a distinctive terroir character are present in this full-bodied effort. With oodles of vivacious fruit as well as wonderful freshness and palate penetration, this superb Pinot Noir should drink well for 10-12 years

2003年
The 2003 Pinot Noir Cuvee Catherine has a ruby/purple color, a big, ripe, framboise and currant fruit nose with some floral notes, forest floor, and a touch of new oak. The wine has great purity, medium to full body, and a long finish with good acidity.
