The Sta. Rita Hills' Kessler-Haak Vineyard is a relatively new site for the Ojai team, but it immediately jumped to the top of the list of their Pinot Noirs, as the burly, brooding, dark cherry qualities of the appellation are almost distilled into this fabulous bottle. It's also a great candidate for aging...if you can somehow resist its youthful intensity and sumptuousness.
