2017 Walter Hansel ‘Estate’ Pinot Noir

VIN91 The 2016 Pinot Noir The Estate Vineyard is fresh, energetic and vibrant, with lovely floral and spice notes that add lift to the bright red-toned fruit. Medium in body and gracious in feel, the 2016 has a lot to offer. This is an especially restrained style, and it works, beautifully.
WA91 Pale ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Estate has amazingly pure notions of crushed cranberries, Bing cherries and redcurrants with touches of garrigue, tilled soil and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers bags of crunchy red berry flavors and a lovely satiny texture with a very long, lively finish. 896 cases produced.
