Description
Hanzell Pinot Noir Sebella 2021
An estate blend, sourced from twelve acres of our Ambassador’s 1953, de Brye, Maggie’s and Sessions vineyard blocks, all on rocky clay-loam soils, with an average vine age by volume of 27 years.
Lovely and lifted aromas of Bing cherry, Bergamot tea, cranberry, pomegranate, anise, worn leather, orange peel, forest floor and rose petal compel a taste. Mirroring the nose, the palate rewards with additional notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, blood orange and thyme stem, finishing long and bright. Absolutely beautiful to drink in its youth, the structural components also make this a great candidate for further cellaring.
Critical Acclaim
93 Wine Enthusiast
While tightly wound, this bold and complex wine made with 41% whole clusters is seriously concentrated, blending savory, cedary elements, red cherries and grilled plums. It’s a keeper; expect it to mellow and improve with time.
92 Wine Spectator
A fresh, savory-driven style, with a firm, stony minerality running underneath a core of damson plum and blood orange notes, while the savory edge knits everything up on the finish.
