Walter Hansel Pinot Noir 'Estate'

Hansel's Estate Pinot Noir is comprised of grapes scattered throughout the family's property, and it is in incredibly fine form in the 2019 vintage. Rich, ample, and generous, this is a prime example of why Russian River Pinot Noir is so beloved. Boasting a deeper color than most Pinot Noirs, this wafts out of the glass with gorgeous aromas of ripe plum, black cherry preserves, raspberry, Indian spices, and more. This leads into a seamless, full, and silky palate of plump fruit and complex notes of forest floor, spice, and crushed flowers. Kudos to Stephen Hansel for making such a lovely and pleasure-bent wine.
