Walter Hansel Russian River Valley Estate Pinot Noir 2019 COTES DE PROVENCE you might be wondering whyThe 2019 Pinot Noir The Estate Vineyard is bright, aromatic and wonderfully translucent. Always a great introduction to these wines, the Estate in 2019 is especially perfumed and nuanced. Crushed rose petal, mint and sweet red berry fruit are all finely cut. The 2019 is a bit more restrained than in most vintages, but the Russian River has so much natural exuberance, so that contrast works so well here.
