In a great tertiary moment. Drying sous bois & fruit but still fragrant with velvet touch & fully integrated oak.

Quality wine demands your attention. After a few sips, you want to given it that attention.

Maybe not my favorite year of Hanzell but still super good. High tone red fruit with the immediacy, vibrancy and tension I expect from their Pinot but with maybe a bit too much oaky caramel on it for my tastes.

Vanilla, oak, pepper. Maybe the best Pinot noir I have had. Don't tell burgundy!
