title: Kessler-Haak 2011 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: There is a stunningly unique resinous quality on the nose and palate of this wine by Dan Kessler, very much like the aromatic, crystalline sap that comes from the obscure dragon's blood tree. There's also root beer, cinnamon, dried orange rinds, raspberry tea and potpourri in the nose, and mulberry, black tea and spiced cherry on the palate.
variety: Pinot Noir
