2018 Hanzell Sebella Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Hanzell’s winemaking technique is simple; to nurture the vines and vinify without compromising the distinct qualities Mother Nature provides. This natural approach resulted in Hanzell becoming a reference standard for producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with uncanny longevity and remarkable balance. They’ve been the home of great innovation and invention in winemaking for more than a half-century, and their Sebella Pinot Noir is crafted with the same exacting standards as their top Estate wines, offering substantial value at around 1/3 the cost. 
 
Marked by their refreshing acidity, dynamic complexity, succulent fruits, and perfect balance, Hanzell’s Pinot Noirs illuminate each vineyard’s unique personality and those that farm it. The winemaking team ages this Pinot in primarily neutral oak barrels, preserving the most natural essence of the fruit. 
 
2018 was a record vintage for Sonoma County Pinot Noir, described the Wine Spectator as, “Nearly perfect conditions; full-flavored wines backed by crisp acidity.” Ideal conditions resulted in Hanzell’s latest harvest since 2011, resulting in spectacular flavor development.

“Robust in firm, integrated tannin, this wine is textured, lengthy and complex. Tangy red cherry, strawberry and pomegranate wrap around punchy acidity and structure with a stone-like minerality and elements of dried herb, cardamom and white pepper beckoning and developing in the glass.”

“An elegant, burnished version, with lively acidity backing the flavors of plum compote and dried cherry, featuring minerally accents. Cedar and spice details show on the finish. Drink now through 2024.”
