14.9% alc., 148 cases, $60. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Distinctive aromas of black cherry, sweet manure, dark chocolate and smoky oak. A terroir-driven wine with its signature fecal character in the background. Silky on the palate and very well crafted, with balanced tannins and a delicious black cherry essence. This is a wine with personality and one unlike any you have ever tasted. The best Hansen Vineyard Pinot Noir from george to date. Score: 93. Reviewed December 10, 2014
