Medium lemon yellow. Subtle nose with notes of lemon, Golden Delicious apple, and pear with hints of honeysuckle. Medium body on the palate with minerality and refreshing acidity. Made from a blend of fruit from multiple SRH vineyards including 40% Rita’s Crown, 30% Bent Rock, 16% Clos Pepe, 10% Zotovich, and 4% Kessler-Haak aged 13 months in 15-20% new French oak. 14.2% ABV. — 7 years ago

Lychee, candied peach, white flowers, lemon zest, and ginger. Heavy mouthfeel could come across as almost syrupy if not served at proper temperature (cold.) Very traditional, good wine. — 8 years ago

An 02 spatlese that is rocking on thanksgiving. Burg schlossberg is my favorite rheingau vineyard and this example by August Kessler is on point. Fusel, marmalade, and golden raisin on the nose with a fruity yet dry mid palate. Nice long finish — 10 years ago

When I tasted the new vintage, I told Dan his winemaking skills have gone to a higher plain. 100% estate fruit. Dan has constructed a pure, beautiful expression of what the Sta. Rita Hills is all about. Touch of earth, mushroom, chalky earth, strawberry. 100% consistency, with a touch of cedar, smoke. Such a beautiful combination of site and winemaking. — 11 years ago

Урюк, айвовый конфитюр, манго, кленовый сироп, подсохшие соты, прополис, даржилинг, тмин, лёгкая горечь на финише. Золотой цвет, полное, увесистое тело. Концентрация и сладость уравновешиваются все ещё живой, хоть и не вибрирующей кислотностью. Открыто и развито, экспрессивно, местами прямолинейно, не слишком утончённо и сложно. — 9 years ago

California fruit but nice acidity. I met the winemaker it is in my view one of the best wineries in AVA he also makes a great Riesling and his Pinots are great. Not the butter bomb. — 9 years ago

#smokey #meaty #floral #pinot that's right all of that with luscious soft tannins and great length. The perfect wine for smoked meats or pastrami or a smoked salmon. Really good #sbcwine #santaritahills #santabarbara #santabarbarapinot — 10 years ago

Join in to #WineStudio next Tuesday at 6pm PST to connect with Dan Kessler of Kessler-Haak and with Mr Tercero himself, Larry Schaffer, at the same time on Feb 23rd. — 10 years ago
