Walter Hansel Cahill Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
Vinous – “The 2018 Pinot Noir Cahill Lane Vineyard is another stellar wine in this lineup. Here too, I very much like the wine’s energy and nuance. Ripe red/purpleish fruit, blood orange and floral notes are wonderfully vivid. Medium in body and finely cut, the Cahill Lane is so enticing. In 2018, the Cahill Lane has an extra kick of citrus-infused acidity that gives cut and a closing burst of energy that is impossible to miss.” (93+ Pts)
Wine Advocate – “Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Cahill Lane is scented of smoked cranberries, tar and tobacco with nuances of citrus peel and potpourri. The light-bodied palate is silky, layered and seriously styled with gentle grip, great freshness and long finish.” (93 Pts)

Winemaker’s Notes
Walter Hansel Cahill Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
The winery uses only natural yeast during fermentation. Fining and filtration are minimal. The Pinots are held on the lees without racking for 12 months. None of the wine is aged on entirely new oak. One-and two-year-old barrels are always employed.
VINEYARD
Cahill Lane is a vineyard-designated blend of 3 one-acre blocks that sit next to Stephen Hansel’s house on Cahill Lane. The blocks are comprised of 3 separate French clones, and the vines yield a miniscule 2 to 2¼ tons per acre. This wine, more than any of the other Hansel Pinots, is known for its gorgeous floral aromas and dark, inky color.
SOIL
Goldridge loam
VITICULTURE
The fruit is hand harvested and manually sorted-once in the vineyard and once at the sorting table in the winery.
VINIFICATION
The Pinot Noir is destemmed and the whole berries are gravity fed into open top fermenters.
AGING
60% new French oak
