2007 Hanzell Vineyards Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., $80. 200-
acre estate with 42 acres of vineyards planted to heritage clones.
·
Moderate
reddish-purple color in the glass. Fresh aromas of dark berry tart, cassis, dark
chocolate, and anise-laced oak. Very earthy and somewhat brooding with
bruising tannins. Moderately richly flavored with dark berries, black cherries and
anise. Much better the following day from a previously opened and re-corked
bottle and especially good with beef that counteracts the tannins. This wine
needs more time to integrate and soften the tannins but has a special rugged
mountain character that is appealing. Very good.

1997 Hanzell Vineyards Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc..
·
Gorgeous garnet color. Noteworthy
heat on the nose and finish. Heady cherry fruit flavors. Soft in texture with fine-grained tannins persisting.
Admirable for a ten-year-old California Pinot Noir but rather one-dimensional.
