Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 21, 2007 - Sensational. Light garnet to dark ruby color with a soaring nose of cherry, berry, forest floor, and orange zest (which I find to be a give-away for Hansel Pinot with some age). Lovely on the palate with super texture, silkiness, ample structure, fruit, earth and acidity. This really seems more like a 2003 or 2004 than the 2001 it is. Has held up tremendously and has 2-3 years left to full maturity and maybe another 3-5 years past that before it'll go into decline. My favorite Hansel Pinot to date, and those who have followed my tasting notes will know that I've had many of Stephen's wines. Absolutely fantastic wine.
