2017 Hanzell Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc. $98. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. More demure in this vintage, with aromas and flavors of cherry, red berry, dried herbs and toasty oak. The slightly tart cherry finish lacks staying power and reveals significant oak inflection. Maybe more time in the cellar may add to the appeal. Score: 91. Reviewed August 22, 2021
