Note di degustazione
The 2014 Pinot Noir Estate is another realistically priced wine from Stephen Hansel and is a super value with its sweet cherry and raspberry fruit, allspice, subtle background oak and a medium to full body. It is a beautiful wine made mostly from Rochioli cuttings and a small amount of the Joseph Swan clone. Like most of these Pinot Noirs, it sees about 60% new French oak and the rest used barrels. All of these Pinot Noirs are bottled unfined and unfiltered just like the Chardonnays.

The 2014 Pinot Noir The Estate Vineyard is a fabulous entry-level wine that captures the essence of this great Pinot Noir vintage. The aromatics are bright and precise, qualities that carry through to the palate, where the fruit is dark and intense, yet also beautifully delineated throughout. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mint, spice and lavender are all pushed forward. This expressive Pinot will be immensely pleasurable young, but it also has enough energy and freshness to drink well for several years.
