Hanzell delivers profound Sonoma terroir in this ethereal, truffle-scented beauty.

Red plum richness meets exotic saffron spice. Tea leaf undertones weave through forest floor earthiness. Truffle aromatics emerge with air. Silky texture carries concentrated fruit without heaviness. Mineral backbone provides structure. Long finish reveals layers of complexity. Drinking beautifully now but will evolve gracefully through 2025. Classic Sonoma Valley expression.
