2010 Walter Hansel Pinot Noir The South 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) 91ポイント
"The 2010 Pinot Noir South Slope is considerably firmer than the 2009. Firm, yet well-balanced tannins support cinnamon, cloves, dark cherries and licorice. The 2010 shows excellent energy and verve, but it naturally needs time in bottle to come together. I especially like the energy and focus here. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
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."

"Bright ruby-red. Cherry, black cardamom and licorice on the musky, deeply scented nose. Spicy and sharply focused, offering bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors that gain florality and spiciness with air. Bright and gently sweet on the finish, which lingers with very good, spicy tenacity. " (May/June 2012)
