Occidental is a fairly new winery started in 2011 but by the seasoned winemaker of Kistler. Occidental only produces Pinots, mostly grown on west Sonoma coast, which is a cool-climate area and makes them different from more inland Pinot grapes. Tasting flight typically consists of ~4 different Pinots and they are delicious! Delicate and juicy without being jammy/sweet. Drive up to the tasting room and the view from the property is stunning, as the building itself. Highly recommend putting Occidental on your list of wineries to visit!
