August Kesseler
August Kesseler significantly supplemented his team of dedicated pickers this year, since he was forced to harvest simultaneously his pinot noirs and that portion of riesling suitable for sweet wines. As he promised last year, Kesseler showed me his 2001 pinot noirs. His sinewy, tight-grained, deeply concentrated and sour cherry-fruited spatburgunder (pinot) from 75-year-old vines in the Assmannshauser Hollenberg, while very expensive, is undeniably world-class and worthy of 2 stars. An equally outstanding, rare (800-liter) bottling of pinot from the Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg offered deep folds of lovely black raspberry fruit; however, while shrugging off its 75% new oak element (three of four barrels), it did slightly betray its 14. 5% (!) natural alcohol. (4 in Wine Imports, Glendale, AZ; and Langdon-Shiverick, Cleveland, OH) Also recommended: 2002 Lorcher Schlossberg Riesling Spatlese Trocken, 2002 Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling Spatlese.
