Walter Hansel Russian River Pinot Noir

Steve Hansel never had much interest in following his father Walter’s passion for wine until he met Tom Rochioli and tasted the potential of grapes from the area. Cuttings from the Rochioli Vineyard + Joseph Swan clone were used to plant his Estate vineyard just west of Santa Rosa. Ripe dark cherry and raspberry fruit, cherry cola, cloves, allspice, mushroom dominate the palate. There’s a hint of oak in the background, bright acid and a medium to full body.
