Item Description

Private tasting and Tour of the Hanzell Vineyards Estate for 4 AND a 1.5L of 2007 Chardonnay and a 1.5L of 2006 Pinot Noir:

Hanzell Vineyards Magnums are very rare and only a limited number are produced each year. Hanzell Vineyards Wines have been grown, produced and bottled at the estate since 1957.

2007 Chardonnay

Enticing aromas of citrus and white flowers are the initial notes, but with time the wine unfolds to offer marzipan, pear, and toasted almond. A rich vanilla-honey scent gives an impression of sweetness to the overall aromatic profile. In the mouth, the inherent richness builds over time with classic Hanzell flavors of lemon, chamomile and clean mineral emanating from a tautly wound core structure which hints at what will develop with further aging.

2006 Pinot Noir

Blackberry, strawberry compote and blueberry pie give this vintage a very prominent fruit character, but there is the darkness of tea leaf, humid forest, and a feral quality, like the fur of an animal or the nape of a neck. Clove and cardamom are warm spice notes that give the impression of sweetness to balance the firm presence of ripe tannins.
