Samsara Wine Co.
Kessler-Haak Vineyard Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
2018 vintage. Winemaker Matt Brady tames the hedonism of the Santa Rita Hills (only for a spell, don’t fret) and adds a little body, earth and spicefest to this offering. Doesn’t hurt that the juice is from 100% Pommard (muscular/hevvy Pinot) clone. Ruffly, 150 cases made. Find you do, acquire you must.

What a beauty. In my mind it’s a cross between a Burgundian style and a Cali Pinot. Very well done.

2011... rough vintage but they got it ripe enough. Elegant cola and red fruit aromas. Medium bodied, this can be drunk now and over the next few years. I bet this gets even better in 5 years.
