2007 Walter Hansel “The South Slope Vineyard” Pinot Noir

A terrific example of a top Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Beautifully balanced with dark red fruits, specifically cherries and currants, combined with black pepper and earth and just enough vanilla to give it a little creaminess. Tons of complexity and expressiveness to this wine, a very smooth mouth feel and a surprisingly long finish for a Pinot Noir. Elegant and structured, this showed everything we love about this variety.

Excellent +

2007 Marimar Estate Pinot Noir Cristina

Dark red with a little fade at the rim. Big nose of cherries, cranberries and earth. Medium to full body with red fruit flavours backed up with spices and earthiness. A terrific Pinot with seemingly many years to go.

Excellent
