2015 Kessler-Haak Ohana Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., 635 cases, $N/A. Clones 115, 777, 667, 114 and 2A. Aged 10 months in French and Hungarian oak barrels, 18% new. “Ohana” is Hawaiian for family. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Lovely aromas of cherry and underbrush. Streamlined and easy to like in the mouth, with a mid weight core of black cherry fruit framed by modest tannins. Not particularly complex, but my notes include “enjoyable,” “giving,” and “agreeable.” The oak is deftly managed in this wine. Score: 92. Reviewed July 21, 2018
