2014 George Vintage XII Hansen Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.8% alc., 280 cases, $60. 30-year-old Pommard clone plantings. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The telltale pungent manure aroma typical of this vineyard shows up on the nose as well as the scent of cigar. A very unique and terroirdriven wine that consistently offers a strong manure flavor in each vintage accenting the black cherry and black raspberry fruit flavors. Silky in the mouth with a modest finish that ends with some warmth. Score: 88. Reviewed April 2, 2016
