The 2019 Pinot Noir The Estate Vineyards is elegant, gracious and lifted. Crushed red flowers, mint, cinnamon, blood orange and incense are all nicely layered in this very pretty, mid-weight Pinot Noir from Hansel. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2022)

Russian River continues to be my favorite region for California Pinot Noir. Hansel makes a great wine. Outstanding compared to most offerings.
