2017 Walter Hansel Pinot Noir North Slope Vineyard Russian River Valley

Deep earthy, cherry notes on the nose. The palate shows deep, lush fruit with some real elegance. Black cherries, blueberries, earth. Sharp tannins, great acidity and balance. Finishes long with dark fruits and fresh earth. Lovely now but needs time (2 to 3 years) to develop. Will drink well for years. "A". The Walter Hansel Pinots are an incredible bargain.
