2016 Hanzell Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir

13.8% alc. · Aromas of dark cherry dusted with baking spices and an earthy undertone. Very impressive in a middleweight plus style, with waves of black cherry, black raspberry, pomegranate and spice flavors. Somewhat viscous with adroit integration of acid and tannin, really showing off on the long, long, long finish. A stellar wine of uncommon breeding. Score: 95. Reviewed August 22, 2021
