Starting the Pinots, the 2011 Pinot Noir Kessler Haak Vineyard comes from a vineyard located just to the west of Clos Pepe. Fermented with 40% whole cluster, it’s a gorgeous red that offers up notions of red and black cherries, underbrush and spice to go with a bright, medium-bodied, elegant profile on the palate. Possessing fine tannin, notable balance and excellent mid-palate depth, it will impress for upwards of a decade. Drink now-2021.
This is a great lineup by Chad Melville. Neutral oak, no SO2 until racking, varying degrees of whole cluster, native yeasts and a very cold cellar are the name of the game here and these are have individual, unique profiles. They also remain reasonably priced given the quality. These are all impressive wines and well worth checking out!
