Walter Hansel - Pinot Noir Cuvée Alyce 2021

Rött vin från North Coast USA

« Walter Hansel älskade Bourgogne och 1978 planterade han 250 plantor Pinot noir och Chardonnay med avsikt att göra världens bästa vin. Numera driver sonen Steve vineriet, med samma vision som sin far. Lågt skördeuttag är grundregeln, högst ett ton per hektar. Skörden är manuell och man bokstavligen plockar druvor i nio (!) skördeomgångar. »

Dark and enveloping, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Alyce is the richest offering in this lineup. Pouring a deep red/purple, it’s saturated with aromas of boysenberry liqueur, lavender, cedar, and licorice. Ample and full-bodied, it remains light on its feet, with mouthwatering lift, well-integrated, ripe tannins, and smoky incense on the back palate. Give it another year or two to shed its considerable baby fat and drink 2025-2035.

Alyce was my Mom and she was the life of the party. There is a section of vineyard right in the middle of the North slope where the soils are very heavy adobe clay resulting in the vines struggling to produce a crop more than 1 ton to the acre. It is a field blend of clone 777 and 115. This minimal crop yield tends to produce wines that are big, rich, "over the top" flavors; perfect for "Alyce"

Steve Hansels vän, den berömda vinmakaren Tom Rochioli, hjälpte honom i de tidiga stadierna av sin vinutbildning genom att bjuda in honom att arbeta ett par skördar på...

"I was quite taken with the wines I tasted with proprietor Stephen Hansel earlier this year. In particular, the 2010 Chardonnays have turned out far better than I expected. They are complete and beautifully balanced to a degree that is surprising." Wine Advocate #206 April 2013
