2010 Walter Hansel Pinot Noir The North Slope Vineyard
ロバート・パーカーのワイン・アドボケイト (アントニオ・ガッローニ) 93ポイント
"The 2010 Pinot Noir North Slope is a gorgeous wine laced with freshly cut flowers, spices, red berries and minerals. Saline notes are woven throughout, giving the wine its lift and vibrancy. The North Slope boasts gorgeous inner perfume and fabulous overall length. It will be interesting to see where this goes over the coming years. The future appears to be very bright. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
This is an excellent set of wines from Steven Hansel. The Chardonnays are fermented and aged in barrels for a total of 10 months with lees stirring once a week for the first 8 weeks. Hansel favors Francois Freres and Seguin Moreau barrels, typically 50% new for the Chardonnays. The Pinots are made with fully destemmed fruit and aged in Seguin Moreau barrels, 70% new. Like many growers, Hansel was affected by late season rains in 2010. The estate was very aggressive with leaf pulling, which then created challenges, especially for the Chardonnays, when the heat spikes arrived. The 2010s have lower alcohol and higher acidities than the 2009s, but they also at times have a bit of heaviness from the very low yields of the year. The Pinots seem less affected by the weather in 2010. Vintage 2009 was much more regular, and that comes through in the consistency of both the Chardonnays and the Pinots.

"Vivid ruby-red. High-pitched raspberry and floral aromas are complemented by notes of star anise, allspice and mace. Tangy acidity adds lift and cut to intense raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors, which pick up a floral character on the back half. Lively and precise on the energetic finish, which lingers with excellent spicy persistence. " (May/June 2012)
