Reviews
Vinous – “The 2019 Walter Hansel The South Slope Vineyard Pinot Noir is one of the deeper, earthier wines in the range. Wild cherry, tobacco, cedar, dried autumn leaves and iron bring out a more virile side of Pinot. There is a good bit of density, but in the laid-back style of the vintage here.” (92 pts)
