Roessler Cellars
In 2000 Roger Roessler, a longtime restaurateur with projects spread across the western part of the country, and his brother Richard, an electrical engineer and hobbyist winemaker, created Roessler Cellars, dedicated primarily to the kind of food-friendly Pinot Noir on which Roger had built wine lists for his restaurants. Roger’s restaurant interests included a share in the historic Swiss Hotel on Sonoma’s town square, where the Sangiacomo family, Carneros’ largest independent grape growers, were regular customers. When it occurred to Roger that he might like to make wine, Angelo Sangiacomo did not hesitate to offer him four and a half tons of pinot noir. On the strength of this offer, the brothers formed the winery, enlisted Wells Guthrie of Copain Wines as their winemaker, and began an expansion that encompassed, just seven years later, no fewer than eleven acclaimed and award winning vineyard-designated pinots sourced from Willamette Valley to the Santa Rita Hills, five appellation pinots with proprietary names, and a dribble of chardonnay. The Roesslers purchased forty acres near Annapolis, in the Sonoma Coast, and fourteen acres in Carneros, where they began planting Pinot Noir and Read more »
Outstanding Pinot Noir, ripe cherry practically explodes in your mouth but there are also more subtle floral flavors that make this a wine with depth. Definitely worth the price.

Roessler la Encantada Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2007
Snoothrank:
Rustic, brambly, zin-like nose. Lots of pepper and sage/brush notes. Some raisiny tones as well. The palate matches. Very ripe fruit with a "zin zest" to it. More like a zin/syrah blend than a pinot, so not at all what I was expecting. White pepper throughout. Enjoyable, but not very pinot noir at all.- Tasted at Khoury's 7/7/10 Read More
