Walter Hansel Winery

The South Slope Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Deep and dark black cherry with some slight green, vegetal notes on the finish. Great structure and strong fruit makes this one for the cellar. Tight now, try again in 5-7 years. Very impressive and interesting…open this one if you’re interested in something different. — 3 years ago

Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2019

New label but the same always-reliable Zinfandel. Huge aroma of crunchy black fruit and red fruit with wild raspberry, elderberry, mulberry, plum and licorice. Tannins are soft and elegant, vibrant acidity and a warm undercurrent of dried herbs (think a Sonoma version of garrigue) give this wine charm and dimension. It’s lovely. 14.8% abv — 5 years ago

Moss Wood Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Deep virtually opaque blackberry shade. Absolutely beautiful with intoxicating aromas of berries, warming spice, bay leaves and black cherries. It’s rich and juicy in the mouth. Drinking beautifully however with patience this wine will be even more amazing 🤩 #sample #opinionsaremyown — 5 years ago

Dolinsek Ranch Heritage Red Blend

Young and fresh but showing many of the Dolinsek’s traditional traits: a big nose of blue and black fruits followed by a fruit forward wine of the same. It’s got bright acidity and firm tannins with a hint of black olive and pepper deeper in the wine. Drinking well now with loads of potential. — 3 months ago

Notes of black cherry, with aromas of raspberry hints of tarragon and dried herbs. This is a very elegant wine with extremely refined tannins that seem to saturate the entire pallet. So amazing !!!  — 5 years ago

Castelli-Knight Ranch Syrah 2018

Mixed pepper, mixed red and black fruit. Was tart to open and then evolved beautifully. This will age! Rated 2016 last night 2018 tonight (feb)... Update, (2nd bottle of 2018, now late may): Those tart aromatics are piercing, rose water, lavender. It’s an intense wine. Medium bodied with light tannins. Very little oak influence. I think the cranberry and subtle white pepper will age and this wine will be nice for a long time. — 5 years ago

Little Hill Pinot Noir 2018

We had a vertical tasting of 2018 and 2020 Little Hill Single Vineyard PN. Both have similar bouquets and palates. Black cherry and minerality. 2020 is a little more floral. 2018 has a more darker tone; and that is good. Both have nice mouthfeels with smoothed out tannins. 2018 is a little more velvety. Both very good. It seems these PN need more time in the bottle — 5 months ago
