Tasting notes
Hansel's 2014 Pinot Noir The South Slope Vineyard is bold and explosive, with tons of exuberant fruit. Bright red cherry, plum, rose petal and spice are front and center. A classic Russian River Pinot, the South Slope is absolutely gorgeous today. Hints of leather, tobacco and game underpin a core of flamboyant Russian River Pinot fruit. The 2014 is every bit as impressive as it was last year.

The 2014 Pinot Noir The South Slope Vineyard is another striking, exuberant wine endowed with real depth and class. The flavors are bold and super-expressive throughout. Dark cherry jam, cola, plum, wild flowers and spices race across the palate. The South Slope is one of the most exotic, intense wines in this range of superb Pinot Noirs from Hansel, and a terrific example of what the Russian River is all about.
