2003 Walter Hansel Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.7% alc., $27.
·
This Pinot Noir has a distinctive
old-style Burgundian rusticity. There is a nice core of cherry and earth notes which take on structure with
exposure to air. The fruit is restrained and the wine finishes with plenty of acid and a touch of astringency.
