Ojai Pinot Noir "KESSLER HAAK" Sta. Rita Hills 750mL
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Ojai's Kessler-Haak Pinot Noir is a gorgeous product of the exceptionally cool and windy 2021 vintage. The fruit was perfect at harvest, with ripe stems and high acidity, so winemaker Adam Tolmach upped the whole-clusters in the fermentation to 70%. This bottling exudes Sta. Rita Hills with its profuse fragrance of lifted fruit. But theres also appealing sagey and piney chapparal-like aromatics, along with cherry pit and savory spice. Upfront on the palate the fruit is both succulent and brisk, with threads of currant and cranberry. Then fine astringencies of stemmy spice and black tea start to take hold, channeling the wines energy into a long and textural finish with mouthwatering brightness. Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points - "I've always loved the Pinot Noir from this site, and Ojai's 2021 Pinot Noir Kessler Haak Vineyard is another beautiful wine. Redcurrants, darker raspberries, forest floor, earthy, iron, herbal nuances, and some subtle hints of flowers all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a beautiful sense of elegance. This is never the biggest or richest Pinot Noir in a vintage, yet it shines for its balance, complexity, and sheet charm. It benefits from a little bit of air today and is going to evolve gracefully over the coming 10-12 years." |
