Kessler-Haak 2013 Sanctuary Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Sanctuary
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Kessler-Haak / Sta. Rita Hills

One of the winery’s many estate bottlings, this offers a floral and earthy nose, with crushed slate, lavender and ginger accents to its pomegranate and mulberry aromas. It’s juicy, light and acid-driven, the palate replete with cinnamon, hibiscus and grenadine flavors, followed by a thyme- and anise-inflected finish.
