Hanzell delivers ethereal Pinot with profound earthy complexity and silken refinement.
Haunting aromatics of red plum and tea leaf give way to exotic saffron notes. Forest floor earthiness permeates the palate alongside subtle truffle undertones. Silky texture belies serious structure underneath. Tannins are firm yet polished, providing backbone without overwhelming the delicate fruit. The finish stretches endlessly, revealing new layers with each sip. This is Pinot Noir of profound depth and sophistication. Will develop beautifully over the next decade, gaining even more complexity.
๐ท You worship at the altar of Burgundian elegance but crave California sunshine.
Pairs with: Wild mushroom risotto, Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Aged Gruyรจre, Herb-crusted rack of lamb
