Wine Access $30 NDA Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir [compare at $140/btl]

Wine Access has been offering a lot of "NDA" Cabernets lately with varying degrees of success. I was impressed with the Yesterday Cabs. Radio Silence and Editorial as well. Commission not as much.

Clues

• Antonio Galloni has called this winery's wines "off the charts" (I thought at first this might be Ceritas or Rhys)
• Jeb Dunnuck has hailed them as "truly brilliant" (turns out he uses this phrase quite a bit, but he has mentioned it in the context of Kistler Chardonnay)
• Robert Parker said they "can easily hold their own in blind tastings with the finest red Burgundies"
• "grapes that have inspired 98-point ratings"

Parker's words really have me thinking the source grapes are from Kistler.

Wine Access recently offered a Kistler appellation Pinot Noir for $75, so there's some association there already. That's a pattern we've seen with the NDA cabs as well.

But the bit about 98 point ratings has me thinking it could be from Kistler, but more specifically from Steve Kistler's family winery Occidental.

The average price of Occidental SWK Vineyard Pinot Noir on wine-searcher? $140

I'm in for 6-12 bottles of this. This is right up my alley.
