2015HanzellVineyardsPinotNoir,MoonMountainDistrict,USA

<p>Estate Pinot from Hanzell’s volcanic, iron-tinged slopes high above Sonoma Valley, combining old-vine heritage clones with newer hillside plantings. A warm, dry vintage pushed small berries and natural concentration; fermentation with native yeasts and élevage in tailored French oak brought structure without obscuring site. The 2015 shows dark cherry and raspberry, dried rose, subtle tea leaf, and the signature Hanzell mineral–savory edge. Fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and long, resinous lift mark this as a benchmark Moon Mountain Pinot with serious aging architecture.</p>
