Profound Pinot that marries bright fruit with compelling earthiness.

Red plum aromatics meld with wet forest floor and exotic saffron spice. Silky texture carries tea leaf minerality through the mid-palate. Truffle funk emerges on the finish, adding compelling savory depth. Structure feels serious yet approachable. This vintage captures Hanzell's terroir brilliantly. The earthiness builds with air, revealing layers of mushroom and damp soil. Impressive concentration without weight. Should develop beautifully over the next decade.
