Lots of toasty richness in the bouquet, leesy baking spices, cherry and apricot fruit notes, a hint of hazelnut and marzipan, a bright, frothy, airy mousse bursting open with strawberry rhubarb pie notes, nice, crisp, cleansing acidity, a core of silky fruit, and a long, fruit- and baking-spice-driven finish. This 100% Pinot Noir is sourced from Kessler-Haak Vineyards estate fruit and produced methode champenoise, 60 months en tirage in an extra brut style using 3 g/L sugar. Kessler-Haak Vineyard is located in the heart of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Planted in 2005 by winegrower/winemaker Dan Kessler and his wife, Ellen Haak Kessler, their 30-acre vineyard is dedicated to the production of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for Kessler-Haak Wines and a few select winemakers.
