August Kesseler 2011 Trocken Pinot Noir (Rheingau)

Country: Germany / Trocken
Variety: Pinot Noir Rheingau
Winery: August Kesseler /

Kesseler’s standard-label Pinot Noir is gorgeously perfumed with notes of violet, spice and vanilla that meld seamlessly into a backdrop of concentrated black cherries and plums. It’s lavishly oaked, yet elegantly composed with brisk sour-cherry acidity and integrated alcohol. Delicious now, but should settle nicely through 2019.
